What I'm saying specifically is that LittleSnitch creates an inquiry to your DNS service (to resolve hostname to IP) before you select either option (`Deny` / `Allow`). If you have DNS that is offsite (i.e. 99% of consumer-facing accounts) then your ISP knows that you have made an inquiry to http://www.example.com [because ISP handles 99% of users' DNS resolution].
