It could be assuming you're attempting to lift the object rather than just draw it in (IE, an intake that feeds up into a hopper or something). Perhaps in addition to loosing 50% of the speed of the roller, you also loose 50% of the torque?
I suspect sticking a 150lb ball into an intake roller is going to present some different results than using that same roller to winch up a 150lb robot, whatever the case may be.
If you want the correct answer to the question of what that tab assumes, I suspect you might have better luck PMing JVN.
