Why run both apt-get upgrade and apt-get full-upgrade instead of just running apt-get full-upgrade to do all of the upgrades in one go?

AFAIK apt-get -y upgrade only updates existing packages without removing installed packages or installing new dependencies. That way I want to make sure to install the latest bug fixes of the existing tooling. apt-get -y full-upgrade then is more invasive, as it also might install new packages or remove packages in the process.
