Yes... but what I'm saying is that this isn't necessarily optimal. In my opinion, it depends on playing style. If you play with your thumb around the "top" and you don't really bend strings, then I believe this is a comfortable arrangement that doesn't make the fretboard unnecessarily flat for the player high up. And I feel it makes it easier to pick, but the same can be said for a constant radius board.

If you do bend a lot, and you want low action, the you want the radius at the end of the fretboard to be larger than the theoretical, because this way you bend "downhill".
