That disagrees with my experience.  tail +10 and head -10 choose the
same line as their breakpoint, but head prints from the beginning to
that line whereas tail prints from that line to the end.  (Each of the
prints the line; try "(head -10 $FILE; tail +10 $FILE) | $diff FILE -"
for some file with at least 11 lines.)
