Hi, I have a script\_score that returns a number but the explain shows another number in the score value of that script

```
{
  "query":{
    "function_score":{
      "functions":[
        { "script_score":{ "script":"1443150000000" } }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

The explain shows:

```
value: 1443150040000
description: "script score function, computed with script:"1443150000000"

```

Is this correct or is a bug?

Thanks, Claudio.
