Its main purpose is to see that the venue promoter has actually read the 
technical rider and has made sure that the real requirements (e.g.: 
electrical, structural, or even rental instruments) will be met.

As one band member said in a newsgroup I used to frequent, if you ask 
for a veggie meal in the dressing room, and the first thing you see when 
you walk in are cold cuts and cheese burgers, it makes you wonder if 
they saw that you had asked them to rent a grand piano locally, because 
you weren't travelling with your own. On the other hand, if the guy 
calls and asks if you are really serious about requiring 12 pairs of 
black socks, he probably read through the whole rider at least once, so 
when you remind him about needing enough power for 240 000W of lighting, 
he's probably already checked with his electrician that it was OK.
