By the strict rules of Bacon Numbers, Erdős Numbers, etc., yes, it’s only a degree of separation through collaboration on a distinct project.
By the rules of posting on a forum, I say you should go with whatever allows you to participate first (because I’m not a goddamn Narc), whatever gives the most interesting answer second, and then whatever is most within the spirit of Bacon/Erdős/Bacon-Erdős numbers third.
For instance, I’d probably put Suda Goichi in between Tim and Kojima, as Jaffe did.
