Not quite true as it's back to the lift. From the centerline of the shaft measured to the round side added to the centerline of the shaft to the lobe side will remain the same if ground to spec. Obviously the valve lifters would need to be adjusted because the cam is a bit farther away but the lift will remain the same from the low side to the tip of the lobe. If the tip were the only thing being ground then definitely the lift would change but not if the round part is also ground. The radius on the lobe is also important as it detemines how quickly the valve opens and closes again.
