There is no distinction, thats the point. Eventually someone is going to engage that mob and find it empty.

If nothing else, the distinction is who got to to the mob first - the rogue or the other player. You may argue that is a meaningless distinction - but someone blowing your mob up at 51% life and taking the loot just because they could and hey, "that's classic," would likewise be considered stealing.
If you're robbing HG's blind before people get to them, it's not much different than someone else killing those HG's before you got to them. If you're robbing them blind while they're killing the HG, it's worse than KSing because you don't even need to use your own resources like a KSer would.
Getting to the mob first is the distinction. Your logic is that it doesn't matter when the rogue pickpockets it - analogy - you're arguing that it doesn't matter who engages mobs first. Just because you engage it doesn't mean you have a right to kill it. Someone can do more damage than you, take the loot, and has committed no error against general server rules against KSing.
If engaging a mob doesn't mean you have the right to that mob (and the loot it carries) unless you zone/die/FD, then KSing is entirely legitimate.
I can therefore follow you around, killing any named mobs you engage because it doesn't matter that you got to the mob first, after all...
