Not Created Equally: Something's off here...

Has the way Rookie soldier stats calculate been changed?
I've been using manual (well, spreadsheet) math to determine the psi stats of my soldiers prior to performing the Sectoid autopsy (because the game screwed me out of my first scientist for a month and a half). However, now that I've completed the autopsy I was surprised to find that the psi stats of my psi-operatives-eventually-to-be were not quite what I calculated them to be.
Here's what the wiki has to say about Not Created Equally:
"Not Created Equally works by swapping stats and will never produce really bad or good rookies. [...] For the purpose of those modifications some stats are worth more "points" than others. Dodge, Will, Hacking and Psi Offense are all worth 1 point; Defense is worth 1.5 points; Offense is worth 3 points; Health and Mobility are worth 12 points. The total of "points" a soldier has on all of his stats is 478."
Okay, so let's try that.
Mister Soldier 1: (a.k.a. "Adolfo Navarro")
74 Aim (x3 = 222)
-8 Defense (x1.5 = -12)
1 Dodge (x1 = 1)
23 Will (x1 = 23)
4 Hacking (x1 = 4)
3 Health (x12 = 36)
14 Mobility (x12 = 168)
?? Psi Offense (x1 = ___)
_____________________________
This sums up to 442. Rookies are supposed to generate with 478 stat points, so therefore Mister Soldier 1 should have 478 - 442 = 36 Psi Offense (a stat with a weight multiplier of 1). However, after doing the autopsy I discovered that the game has them listed as having just 30.
Miss Soldier 2: (a.k.a. "Beth Williams")
61 Aim (x3 = 183)
2 Defense (x1.5 = 3)
9 Dodge (x1 = 9)
26 Will (x1 = 26)
7 Hacking (x1 = 7)
3 Health (x12 = 36)
15 Mobility (x12 = 180)
?? Psi Offense (x1 = ___)
_____________________________
This sums up to 444. So, as above, 478 - 44 = 34, and so 34 is what I'd expect their Psi Offense to be. The game indicates they in fact have 33 (somehow higher than Mister Soldier 1, who has used up less of their stat points on non-psi)
EDIT: For sanity, here's an actual screenshot of "Mister Soldier 1" and "Miss Soldier 2" -
