Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores pretzel at a serving of a small handful of hard pretzels; at 1 large soft pretzel or a big bowl 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.
