So, the issue is that behaviorwise they're indistinguishable from each other.

Intentionally or unintentionally ignoring signals that a person isn't interested in debate or discussion with you is just as annoying to the person being bothered either way.

It doesn't matter if your intentions are sincere or not when you decide to pester someone into a debate they're not interested in having.

Yeah true, the persistent pestering component is arguably always trolling. I guess that's one of the signals that you can use to distinguish.

I can still think of gray areas, but I guess that's why it's effective camouflage.

Another signal is their complete lack of interest in anything you've said outside of what they want to pester you about.
