A clipper guard indicates a cutting length under particular conditions, but it does not specify the entire shape of a side panel. The path around the head and the connection to longer areas still need to be designed. One number cannot describe all of those decisions.
When discussing Japanese and Western barbering, use a guard preference as part of the conversation rather than its conclusion. Ask how high the chosen length will extend and what happens above it. If you like a particular amount of visible coverage, show that too. The practical aim is a shared outline and transition, not simply agreement on a number that leaves the upper shape unexplained.
