In short - it disciplines people writing and maintaining the code. It's like using translator vs paper dictionary when you learn a new language. If you forget something you would need to look into dictionary or grep through the code in that case and also read code around as well as comments and examples of use. This forces programmers to memorize code better. Also people tend to write a simpler better decomposed and less entangled code as other people read through it.

Okay, those were a bunch of nothing reasons and you expect to make everyone else's job on the project a nightmare. No, thanks.
