Diablo 3 unit of measurement issue

The problem in this video is in the unit of measurement. Arcane orb supposedly has an area of effect of ten yards from the center. This video demonstrates that the actual AoE is nowhere near ten yards.

Notice how the two gravestones in the video are about 1.5 times the character's height apart. When I cast arcane orb on one of them, the other is not destroyed as it would be if it was within the AoE. If the distance between the graves were actually ten yards, then my character would have to be about six and a half yards tall! I'm not sure whether the tooltip is inaccurate, the spell is bugged, or my character really is that tall, but something seems fishy.

Yeah this has confused me too. 10 yards looks like it equals about 3-4 yards absolute tops, on the basis of the female wizard being around 5.5 feet tall give-or-take.
