In the case of the 1.16mm tip opening, a "true" start of 21mm, and a smallest feeler of 0.0385mm.

Making the incorrect assumption that there's a right angled triangle between the mouthpiece and the facing i.e. the facing is dead straight line not a convex curve then the feeler will be out by ( 0.0385 * 21 )/1.16 which is a smidgen less than 0.7mm. This is the minimum it could possibly be but a facing like that wouldn't even work.

It will actually be quite a pronounced convex curve and therefore a much smaller angle at the start end. The real value, then, will be considerably greater. I'm not convinced that 2mm difference is inconceivable.
