But it does matter. If N1 was the short pointer there is not enough length on that radius for the "1" and "2" flags not to overlap. Just draw it on a piece of paper and it should be clear why. Also, just because the NR pointer is shorter than the N2 pointers on the indicator doesn't assign it any lesser priority.
