Why is a-b not equal to ((source of a) -b) ?

What is up here?

set ms1 to GetMilliSec
set ms2 to GetMilliSec
set ms3 to (GetMilliSec -ms2)

return {ms1:ms1, ms2:ms2, delta:ms2 - ms1, inlineDelta:ms3}

-->{ms1:7.9489387E+7, ms2:7.9489387E+7, diff:0.0, inlineDiff:7.9489387E+7}

How come subtracting a large number from the result of getmillisec (an osax
call under X 10.2) seems not to do the subtraction?
