True, it doesn't, unless you add them as vectors. Walk north 86.6 ft in a straight line and then turn 90 degrees and walk west 50 more feet in a straight line and you will be 100 ft away from your starting point.
That's an apples and oranges comparison. My point is that you can't have more than the whole of something. Percentage is a fractional comparison, vectors are trigonometric functions. At any rate, I understand what you meant regarding how much rudder, how much elevator, etc for a given amount of bank.
