Puzzled by Timeline results ... can Faithlife explain the difference.

I was looking at Biblical Events in Explorer - specifically on the Context Menu built for an event:

I assumed the difference between the two Timeline entries was simply an early-late option so I was surprised by how different the results were. The time range displayed differed giving one very bare timeline and one more or less what I expected.

PUZZLE/QUESTION: How is the date range determined and why does it fluctuate so wildly for a single event?

 

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the difference is due to the one event being listed as "ca". While displayed on the screen as a single point, the "fuzziness" of the date causes it to use a larger date range.

    Thanks Andrew, I'll test that theory out - it sounds reasonable
