Cue Time Confusion

Couple of months with the ELE2 and thought I had a good grip, but tonight found out I didn't really understand the cue up/down times. I (assumed) that if I entered [TIME] 5/10 that meant that cue would take 5 secs to reach the set intensity and then, on going to the next cue, take 10 secs to fade. But found out that the 2nd number (10 here) actually is the time for the cue I am leaving to fade down. Trying to get to grips with the logic here

    One thing that might help you understand cue times a little better -- the cue times stay the same, no matter what happens if you add or delete a cue before or after it.  

    So, if cue 10 has a time of 4/6, no matter what the content of the cue is before it, it will take four seconds for any values that are increasing to go from their previous state to the state contained in the cue; and it will take six seconds for any values that are decreasing to change state.  That timing will stay put, even if you edit the previous cue so that no values are changing intensity ... and then, when you change the cue back, it'll keep that timing.

    (Under your previous logic -- If you were to go from cue 1, with a "transition out" time of 5, to cue 2, with a "transition in" time of 10, which one would take priority?)
