What kind of explanation would you like? If you search around on the forums there are numerous teams who have collected data on the Victor's transfer curve and found that the center of the deadband is 132 in factory calibration. The reason why would be a question for IFI.

In this post on the IFI forum, you can see them list neutral as 1260139 which puts the deadband center between 131 and 132.
