Slightly different results between Tapered Extrude and Loft.

This is not a serious issue. But, I'm just curious.

While creating a tutorial on Tapered Extrude, I realized that there was a threshold height, in this case 10.2mm, where some extra visible lines appear. When exporting to STL, the object above that threshold added 20 points.

The Lofted version that creates what appears to be an identical object does not display the lines and the STL version counts 60 points.

I'm just curious is to why there would be a difference in results. And, being clueless about the math involved I had to ask. :)
