Strictly speaking, in the third edition, what we now call a racial template was very much a black box proposition: the cost was the cost, and how it ended up with what it gives you was the black box. Wanna be an elf? It costs 40 points. You get ST-1, DX+1, IQ+1, Combat Reflexes, Magical Aptitude 1 for "free." Never mind how that comes out to 40 points, being an elf is just an advantage you can add to your character sheet for 40 points. Mathematical precision wasn't really a concern.
