The Finder reflects the minimum size for a file in HFSX, in that it takes up
4K on the drive, and, when the finder creates the file, I'm guessing most of
that is metadata that system events doesn't know about.
If you look at both in Terminal, they have the same size.

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill
in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively
saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from
onlookers. A minute later, in full view, they were both eaten by a killer
whale.
