You raise a good point about Silk Manipulation's format, but IMHO, if I were to rewrite that problematic initial sentence in the Capabilities section, I'd make it like so (emphasis mine): "User can create, shape and /or  manipulate silk". That would make it clear that all three abilities fall under the umbrella of Silk Manipulation, but not necessarily coincide with each other.

As for Web Generation... I'd like to note that the "silk" produced by typical examples of Silk Generation may very well be (and is most porbably) not actual silk as we define it in real life, because a lot of times this "silk" exhibits properties of toughness, elasticity, etc. that are far in excess of what actual silk is capable of; that is to say, it's only called "silk" because it's the closest analogue in function (mostly because either Spider Physiology is involved or, more figuratively, there are allusions to spiders in the way the power is presented).
