Aileron hinge bracket question

Ok the aileron bracket subkit has a revised drawing dated 5/7/02. There are some notes about allowable gap between mating parts. Note:1 says

1. Allowable gap between mating parts:

.005 maximum at rivet shank
.025 maximum at any point

I understand the .025. Vans probably is concerned about us piling on primer and having a large gap between the plate and bearing. I can't figure out what the .005 is talking about? :confused:
 
The pieces must be nearly (.005") in contact where the rivet is. Away from the rivet, where parts may be warped, etc., there is a higher tolerance.
