Chris,
Because Interval is not a find maximum and find minimum function. In this
case it finds the Interval for each term of the polynomial and then adds
them.
160 &[Interval[{BeginPoint, EndPoint}]]
160
53# &[Interval[{BeginPoint, EndPoint}]]
Interval[{-424, -265}]
4#^2 &[Interval[{BeginPoint, EndPoint}]]
Interval[{100, 256}]
160 + Interval[{-424, -265}] + Interval[{100, 256}]
Interval[{-164, 151}]
Is that useful? It might be if you wanted to know the range that the terms
in the calculation spanned.
