It's not just about confusion. It's also about making things _possible_ in both mobile and desktop views. Dolphin is a customisable software platform, so when you're building blocks, menus, etc. it's already a handful to make them all work well on all pages - but if you add a very different "mobile" view, it becomes double the trouble. Otherwise you have to serve a dumbed-down version for mobiles where people get frustrated when they, say, can't create a group.
A dumbed down version for mobile users is perfect.... considering the fact that your average mobile user is a dumbed down human. I don't see the problem. Your concept serves up a dumbed down version for both platforms.
