This is misleading. Positive boosts aren't calculated "first". You get the same result if you calculate the negative boost "first". They are calculated together. Multiply by 1.2 for positive boosts, and 0.8 for negative boosts.

The basic result is correct - positive and negative boosts don't cancel each other out. The end result is still slightly negative, simply because 1.2 * 0.8 = 0.96, rather than 1.0.
