Why are the surface gross and net areas come back same.?

I have created my geometry and I have assigned materials for each of the surfaces. I have intersected and matched them. I am trying to get the properties of each surface and found that there are two methods for area. Gross and Net. They come back with the same value. I am unsure why have two methods that give back the same value.
