I don't have the same reaction.  My sense is Keith was just being
thorough.  Speaking for myself his statement wasn't needed, but
that condition might not hold for other readers.  Given that his
comment is just one not-overly-long sentence, I don't think it's
too much to ask that readers already familiar with the point
simply skip over it.
