can you please post text supporting why you think this change is appropriate, im not saying its wrong, I am just not convinced that it is right either.

Is it backwards?

It's the case that the Prismatic type is the average value of resists and the Chromatic type is the lowest value among resists. Assuming reading diffs are as intuitive as it looks, it would appear to be backwards in that the '-' lines should be added while the '+' lines are to be removed. It seems in the CVS at the moment, it merely defaults these two resist checks to the value of one's MR.
