False positive rate in sfportscan

Hi

I have been experimenting with sfportscan and notice that sensitivity level Medium produces more false positives than sensitivity level High. If I have understood how sfportscan works, this should be the other way around.

Can anyone offer an explanation on why these results are observed?

Thanks,
Bjarte
