Actually this explains it a bit better:

I'm probably a bit harsh is saying you're doing it 'wrong'. Its just for measuring 'nitto's way' would be to measure reach, not extension.
I assume other manufacturers also measure reach over extension but I've not measured all stems (just a few, which were all reach).
