First, yes, that's how it works, and second, that is not a meaningful
question.  "Closeness" only makes sense with regard to a particular
metric.  You can't meaningfully ask if C is "really" closer to A than B.

Furthermore, for Freenet to work, it is only necessary that the
nodes agree about closeness, and that it have some basic transitivity
properties.
