Sure it's relevant: it's a demonstration that just opening the curtain is not always the optimal solution. There's one reason why not; why couldn't there be others?

I don't know what the reasons are here for not opening the curtain, since I'm not the one who's deciding whether to. But I've had reasons not to before -- and some of the possibilities suggest that I shouldn't be trying to convince anyone to accept the style, so I won't say more than this here.
