Pulling Stacking calculation Logic Help

In Global Trade Settings Windows: Bid Market Depth Pulling/Stacking - Left/Center/Right Aligned

referencing:
"For example, if the Bid quantity at price 100.0 is 50 and it drops to 40 and there has been a trade of 5, then the result is -5."

This sentence I do not understand because I was expecting to read a result of -15, not -5, in the documentation

If 10 orders are removed from the Bid, and then 5 size is executed on the bid, this would leave 35 remaining, and thus -15 on the change?

Thank you for the help

Documentation has been updated to make this more clear:
For example, if the Bid Quantity at price 100.0 is 50 and the quantity goes down to 40, then this is a reduction of 10 which will adjust the current Pulling and Stacking value down by 10. And then if there is a trade of 5, this will increase the current Pulling and Stacking value by 5 giving an overall change of the Pulling and Stacking value of -5. The reason for this last adjustment is that the reduction of the buy limit orders (Bid Quantity) from 50 to 40, was in part related to a trade of quantity 5, not actual pulling of limit orders.
