Offset Plane Issues

I am revising an old program written sometime before 2012 and it's brought up some questions. First, why would one ever measure a plane and then construct an offset plane with an offset of zero? Second, if one did this, shouldn't dimensions referencing those planes give the same results? that is, the planes should be interchangeable? Instead this is what I'm seeing. I'm currently using version 2022.2 but this is translated from something earlier, probably last saved in 2017R1 in case that could possibly matter. The routine is saved as 2022.2 now though.

    It remains my belief though that I can open a program saved an arbitrary length of time ago and construct a feature based on one or more of those previously measured features and the constructed feature will be as expected based on the saved ACTL and MEAS values previously saved in the measured feature(s).
