I agree it's odd. I could see some kind of legitimate rationale if it were specified clearly, depending on the rationale, but there's some sort of fuzz going on that makes it sketchy. I'm also not sure where the 1635 date comes from -- that implies something meaningful but not necessarily, and what exactly I don't know.
