Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores pickled cauliflower at a serving of 1/4 cup (40 g); at 3/4 cup (75 g) or more 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.
