Joseph,

I believe the answer is:
Because the next time the script runs, the resource might not be assigned
the same reference? So your stored reference refers to nothing. I just woke
up and other examples don't come readily to mind.

Well, if you generate a random number and store it in a session,
then generate another next time and compare them to see if they match?
Useful for especially hardened security.
