It's the difference between "I borrowed some money" and "I loaned someone money". They mean different things, including people occasionally creating awful sentences like "I borrowed him some money" (shudder).

It's another example of how related words are misused to provide another example. The author of the article decided to use a word they clearly didn't understand. Are you trying to pull some reverse pedantry shit?
