Because some people may have good ideas, or point out problems.
You asked the odd question `How does emacs know when it's currently in
an important case,' and I was pointing out that `important case' merely
referred the way I had thought about the problem. [That's why I
emphasized `I've' -- not as some sort of claim of authority, but to
contrast with `emacs'.]
