It's not clear to me if you're joking, but in case you're not: there are some situations, especially in closed-system webapps, where it's useful to use a non-transparent scheme for resources. You don't want people to jump into a middle page of a survey or other workflow, and going out of your way to have the middle pages accessible via a RESTful scheme seems pointless and potentially misleading. Continuations or similar methods for papering over the "page" abstraction can be helpful, here. Even if you don't use something like that, you'll end up doing the same thing manually. I agree, though, that those who use this style typically overuse it and apply it to situations (like, er, discussion forums... ;) where it isn't really appropriate.
