Thank you for sending another equally valid scenario to add to the
responses to the 'does anybody know why?' question. I hope you copied it
to the list! ;-)

As I mentioned in the prelude to the story, my version is a major (but
not *the only*) reason - yours would appear to be another major reason.
And there are probably quite a few more major reasons, and a plethora of
minor ones as supporting cast.
