Exactly! It's not like I used a super-accurate digital measuring device to come up with the numbers. When you're talking .1 mm, you can understand why it's hard to make a cable-shifting indexed system work reliably on tightly packed gears. I was able to confirm on the road my spreadsheet prediction that a Shimano 9-speed lever can work with a SunTour rear derailer and a Shimano 8-speed cassette.
