> every single range was positive, so regardless of what this represents, it should be impossible to get a negative result.

They explain that the range you give as input is seen as only being 95% correct, so the calculator adds low-probability values outside of the ranges you specified.

I can see how that surprises you, but it's also a defensible design choice.
