It's the same thing. You are saying what I'm saying, through different calculations.

Imagine you have 280 armor, meaning 74% damage reduction against physical damage. An AA which deals 300 damage will start dealing 300 x 0.26 = 78. A target with 3000 health without any armor would die in ten hits of this champion, assuming no critical strike. With armor, the target would require 38 hits. Multiply these 300 with 38 and it will give you 11400 total damage required. Take away the 3000 original health, and you can see that this target got 8400 extra effective health through armor (K so it wasn't extra 8600, sorry, added an extra 200 somehow).

In my first post, those values mean extra effective health (against physical damage) not total effective health. Sorry if I didn't express myself well.
