Wrong, they are exactly the same distances. I read the next paragraph so I get where you were going with this, but I find it confusing to start off with a blatantly wrong claim, especially when the next line compares 0.11 to 0.1 (11% to 10%) -- not to 0.100001 -- in order to describe how the significance of 0.00001 gets "lost in translation" when speaking in probabilities and not in bits.
