Caution is warranted when applying the common distance approach (Eq. (7)) to infer extinction properties for stars along the Galactic center sight line, where extinction and blending are acute (ℓ,b → 0°). Proximate distances observed for bulge RR Lyrae are likely linked to flux introduced by neighboring stars.
