Whatever is being written is hopefully true to the experiences of the respective authors, which might agree or disagree. Maybe in one case you showed your experience in the field of research, while in the second, you were new but proved to be a quick learner. Those are different, yet positive experiences. Letters of recommendation are real letters to be read by sentient and often intelligent beings, and not checklists listing your feature set. | |

Paraphrasing the question

As a matter of fact, I seek a general analysis in this case... The Divergent and Convergent words and the considered overlapping level within in my question could be interpreted in a fuzzy manner.
