Of course there's a big difference. But this ain't it.

"By an act of evil -- the supreme act of evil. By committing murder. Killing rips the soul apart. The wizard intent upon creating a Horcrux would use the damage to his advantage: He would encase the torn portion..."

This reminds me of our old argument.

By legal and moral definition, "murder" includes intent.
Anyway,
Slughorn was clear.
The "torn portion" already exists when the wizard chooses to encase the torn portion.
