We consider rational functions of the form fm(z) = zm/(zp) which are analytic in |z|<p, p>1, and establish that the asymptotic distribution of the zeros of their Taylor sections and Lagrange interpolants at uniformly distributed nodes is similar. This notion is also illustrated computationally. We conjecture that a similar result can be expected for any function analytic in |z| < p.
