Probably not. But I can tell you how I distinguish. Control carries connotations of things like convexity (you can get there from here) and observability (I can at least infer, if not observe directly, what the controlled is doing). Stewardship is more like influence and constraint. I don't know exactly where I want the system to be/go. But I kinda-sorta know where I do *not* want it to be/go. In the end, it's a matter of egotism. If you think you're that smart, then yeah control it. But if you're doubtful of everything, then all you want to do is tweak it here and there and learn though manipulation.
