Firstly, Seaton's method is designed for players with a very light touch; he is particular about every key sealing perfectly before adjustment begins.
Also, perhaps the differences are "obvious" to him, but for me they are extremely slight.
In the particular case you mention, the "b" key (LH middle-finger) is a large hole with a large bed-place, while the "c" key (the small key between LH middle and LH index) is a small hole with a smaller bed-place. the only thing you can measure with the cigarette paper is friction - and the larger bed-place will have more friction than that of the smaller hole, if they are closing at the same pressure.
Also, there are three different mechanisms that close the "c" key - the "b" key, the "a" key and the con-bar, and the forces are additive. There is only one mechanism that closes the "b" key itself - your finger.
