Some Minifig heads have shorter studs and holes that are actually recessed, compared
to other heads where the hole depth is the same as the stud height.
I have no idea where this fits into the Grand Scheme Of Things, but there is
a variation among those "recessed stud" pieces...which may or may not actually
be a misnomer.

Thank you for sharing this. I was not aware of it.

Nor do I. For right now we're going to continue with the project of title
changes. This mold variation can be listed on the page of known mold variants,
though. Give me some more information including comparison photos which show
the actual difference and an idea of how many heads this affects (if you know)
and I'll get it added.

I don't know how to better show the difference than in the photo I provided
above. If you have some idea how to better illustrate the difference, share,
and I can attempt another photo.

The problem with your photo is it’s just lines you drew. Not easy to see for
oneself.
Try a close-up of both studs from an angle so we can see how deep they are?
If the parts are side by side or the same relative size and if you manage to
show the inside border of the studs…
Or maybe insert a common LEGO part and show how far it goes?
This way, anyone could easily do the same.
(A nozzle? They have grips that can help see the length. Better than plain
bars.)

I think the image is pretty good. The hole is the same, but it starts from a
lower stud.
I suspect that this is a mold error/variation. Interesting, but I do not know
if this is a functional difference that needd a new catalog entry.

The purpose of the cyan lines was to show the height of the head compared to
the stud extension. The head on the left has a higher stud extension than the
one on the right.
The purpose of the red line is to emphasize that the right stud is lower
The blue U shaped line shows the depth of the hole.
I'll attach the first image without lines. If you think it's easier to
tell the difference without the lines please let me know.

The hole depth is the same on both heads. It's the stud rise that's different.

I doubt shooting top-down is going to emphasize a height difference, but...here
you go.

Parts will go down the same amount as the holes are of uniform depth as far as
I can tell.
Some Minifig heads have shorter studs and holes that are actually recessed, compared
to other heads where the hole depth is the same as the stud height.

Okay, I've added the information to our known part variant list:
USA, Vermont
United Kingdom, England
France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Netherlands, Zuid-Holland
