Confused by report discrepancies

Question

The output below shows the TP result for a cylinder as well as a printout of the location of the cylinder. 
 Why would the TP report show different X and Z measured values than the location report?

I can see where your 3rd bullet would contribute to the differences. This brings up another question - If I use legacy dimensioning, pc dimis will report the actual measured results as seen in the location command. Is one method better / more accurate / more "correct"? My instinct tells me it depends on the application for the feature in question.
