Tech Scripting question

[unmerged(10112)]

Can anyone tell me why within the tech scripts there are neg-offset and pos-offset values where the value of the pos offset is as far as I can see always double the value of the neg-offset.

What I'm trying to understand is what is the difference between
time = 100,neg-offset 30, pos-offset 60 and
time = 115, negoffset 45, pos-offset 45.

Are there different probabilities involved?

Also does the chance value play any part as its normally set to 90.

These commands doesn't work. They are probably some kind of try from paradox to make the tech tree more unpredictable by making tech research finish earlier or later that the original date, and to give a certain chance to the research to suceed (/fail). This wasn't implemented so don't care about it.
