(caveat - I haven't done more than a cursory look over pneumatic rules since 2011, which is when the electronics team took over that duty).
we noticed the same thing. a year or two ago there was a thread that stated that the switches were calibrated in the factory and could not be adjusted by us (even though there is an adjustment screw on the switch). I'll try and search for the thread and repost it here.
