Once upon a time, William Herrin <bill () herrin us> said:
Nevertheless, in the protocol's design, the one expressed in the
RFC's, AS path length = distance.

The RFC doesn't make any equivalence between AS path length and
distance.  You are the one trying to make that equivalence, but that's
not how BGP is used on the Internet.  You're about 30 years too late to
have any influence on that.
