I'm afraid you will never know what that difference is... Reminds me of
zen koan saying "the difference between a bird is that it neither know
how to fly".

Note that the use of "between" usually implies a second term !-)

BTW, also note that "the first element the first element in (a) list of
list(s)" is usually (well, I'd even say "always") a list itself.
