And the reason is?  No reason given.

Just what is the cost of leaving confirmed bugs
open?  Just what is the benefit of closing them
(apart perhaps from showing fewer in a report)?

You might have some good reasons.  So far, none

"It makes no sense" and "it is quite reasonable",
themselves make little sense with nothing
presented to back them up.
