I don't understand what point you are making. Scale length is one thing, compensation is another. Hence one can't "exchange" them. They are different things, though related.
As pointed out, you can move the nut and/or saddle anywhere you want, but it doesn't change the scale length - where the frets are located relative to each other.
Depressing a string 1/16" produces only a small change in vibrating string length, not a 1/16" change in length.
