> The only real use for this I can see is that I'd do cheap con research overflowing into expensive prop to troll any SS with cheap prop looking for a bargain off everyone's prop research
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.

I'm sure he was talking from the SS's perspective...

Yeah, but there's no way to exploit it from the SS's perspective. There is a way to screw up the SS's plans from another perspective.
