Perhaps a graphic would help at this point.

Here is (once again) the difference that I am seeing.

The same graphic was used after each of these statements. Here is a corrected version of the graphic (It replaces "It used the minimum available f-number..." with "It used the maximum available f-number...")

It looks like the image on the right was taken at a different angle than the one on the left, with the right image being more parallel to the sensor plane which would make it look like it has more depth of field. Also the transition between what's in and out of focus in the image on the left looks really odd.
