Does anyone know what the difference is between "Greeting" and "Hello" in the Creation Kit for NPC Dialogue?

Does anyone know what the difference is between "Greeting" and "Hello" topics in the Creation Kit for NPC Dialogue?

 

It's not clear to me at all and I don't see anything in google search that explains it.

My impression is that a greeting is the dialogue used in the start phase of a scene, so if an actor says a greeting it will pull the player into conversation. A hello is dialogue an actor will say as you walk by them. Hellos are also used by NPCs when talking to them brings up a default dialogue menu instead of a scene, like when you select your active companion and it brings up the talk/trade/etc menu (eg the player selects Nick and says 'Hey Valentine' then Nick uses his hello 'You need something?' as the menu pops up).

 

You don't need to add greetings into the Misc tab of a quest because it will be added automatically when you make scenes. Hellos have to be manually added.

Thank you, that makes much more sense now!
