What is the challenge rating of a Lvl 1 Warrior?

Page 291 of the Pathfinder Beta says:
Adding NPCs: Creatures without racial Hit Dice are factored into combats a little differently than normal monsters or monsters with class levels. A creature that possesses class levels, but does not have any racial Hit Dice, is factored in as a creature with a CR equal to its class levels –2. A creature that only possesses non-player class levels (such as a warrior or adept) is factored in as a creature with a CR equal to its class levels –3.

By the chart on Page 292, that would make them ¼ CR creatures. That seems a little low though.

Uhm

That makes sense to me.

4 1st level warriors = CR 1.

CR 1 = Even fight for four PC's at 1st level.

IE: Four on Four of same level.

Why would that seem low?

Probibly just a case of getting my mind wrapped arround the new paradigm.
