I really didn't understand that bit.

What LE said in the OP is that if someone (not the SS) researches tech X (say, weaps) and sets it to switch to tech Y (say, con) when complete, and it does switch, the SS gets spying bonus as if they had solely spent resources on tech X.

So since there's a somewhat-common paradigm among SS of setting commonly expensive fields like N, P and L cheap so as to get maximum spying benefit, I (as a non-SS) would choose to overflow research into them rather than set research to them, to troll the SS.
