given the following table:

protocal2=> select * from sal_emp ;
 name  |      pay_by_quarter       |                 schedule
-------+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 Bill  | {10000,10000,10000,10000} |
{{meeting,lunch},{training,presentation}}
 Carol | {20000,25000,25000,25000} |
{{breakfast,consulting},{meeting,lunch}}
(2 rows)

why do the following two queries yield different results??

protocal2=> SELECT schedule[1][2] FROM sal_emp WHERE name = 'Bill';
 schedule
----------
 lunch
(1 row)

protocal2=> SELECT schedule[1:1][2] FROM sal_emp WHERE name = 'Bill';
     schedule
-------------------
 {{meeting,lunch}}
(1 row)
