Because if you followed the instructions you've got a seperate rescue disk.
Rescue disks fail themselves, etc... I guess I'm of the two belts, two suspenders, and still double check everything school of system management. Dynamic linking is all well and good for large user-mode programs, but stuff that's critical for booting should be as absolutely bullet-proof as possible.
