PIR's: Why trip on two detects?

I have a dual-tech motion detector and it has a dip-switch option to trip alarm on two consecutive detections instead of one. It claims to remove more false alarms.

Dual-tech is already very good at removing false alarms, so why would I want to wait for two detections when one should tell me that something's moving in the room? Anyone every use this option?
