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.
