Indeed. However one needs to keep in mind that the acceleration was with the remaining operating engines, and the distance at the V1 speed. So the rundown characteristics need to be taken into consideration when considering "not the same". As the rationale was to inject a pad for those things which catch us out, the distance requirement is more readily comprehended.
