:I'd disagree... This means that some moves are more equal than others. Like, if one was considering distances, a (single-step) move is a constant unit of assessment, as with considering sort routines. A swap of elements ''i'' and ''j'' is three actions and does not consider the distance between them because the intervening positions are not involved. But, when moving a square multiple positions in the same direction, there are multiple actions, and, like Zeno's Arrow, each position is occupied...
