I rarely, if ever, come across the word "conflate", except here on Avodah. When it is used here, it seems to be pejorative, indicating that someone confused or merged two things that really ought to stay distinct.

RET, is that what you mean here? Do you feel that it was wrong for Chazal to associate Pinchas and Eliyahu in the way that they did?
