I agree. But you would not spell that out in the *staff* notation as part
of a *chord*. i.e., in the *staff* notation it's a single note in two
different voices.
In the tab notation, you would certainly call out both notes on two
different strings, but not as part of a single chord. Again, it would
spelled out in two different voices.
