Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores baking chocolate at a serving of dark chocolate around 30 g (5 squares); at larger amounts of dark, or any milk/white chocolate where Lactose also rises it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
