I meant that stars are not distributed so the angular distances between 
each one and the nearest neighbor as seen from earth are approximately 
equal. Stars are not "evenly distributed", they are closer to being 
"randomly distributed". I think that approximately matches what you 
said, but I'm not sure. ;-)
