Well, it would if they were minor background objects and I was trying to
generate random terrain each time, or something like that. If I wanted to
generate a random tree, and then generate another random tree in a
different scene, I wouldn't want them too look the same, and I'd rather not
have remember all the past seeds I've used on past trees. Well, its a minor
point, anyways.
