    Yes, your self-correction is correct. Only the fact that the blocks have matching dimensions matters.

    Thanks for remembering my name but that tool is properly called a "dial caliper", not a "vernier". The old style calipers that actually had a vernier scale, e.g.,

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vernier_caliper.svg

    might be nicknamed "verniers" but the terminology for the more modern ones is "dial caliper" or "digital caliper" for the purely electronic style.
