What people usually misjudge

Equal reach does not mean equal presence

People often flatten comparisons like this into a single end-to-end number. The more useful read is how one object stretches its size across span while the other turns more of its size into bulk, thickness, or visual heft.

Shared category can hide the gap

Because both objects live in the same general category, people tend to sort them into the same mental bucket and smooth over the real difference. The comparison matters precisely because they feel related while occupying meaningfully different amounts of space.
