I really have no idea what 200 miles represent. It's like if I start talking in Yen to you, you would have to convert that to the US$ if you're not familiar with it.

No I wouldn't. If you complain to me that you make 1000 Yen per hour but your coworker with the exact same experience doing the exact same job makes 2000 Yen per hour, I don't need to know the value of a Yen to understand that you're being shafted because you only make half of what your coworker does.
In the original comment, the point was that Europe was small but the USA is big. To rephrase what was written, the distance between the two American cities is 1.07 times the distance from the UK to the Middle East. The actual measurement, whether expressed in planck lengths or lightyears, is entirely irrelevant.
