That's not much of a difference.

Someone says something obviously absurd and totally weird. Then who was listening answer in that way: that's not much of a difference.
I'm not sure how to translate that. At least because of a meaning matter. Could this epxression means that what the first person was saying is an obvious contradiction? Or maybe he is trying to say that the difference is very big?

The dialog is this:
P1: Two years have passed in this place in the past year.
P2: That's not much of a difference. And you're clearly lying!
