Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores wheat beer at a serving of small glass (about 200 ml); at full pint 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.
