Because AppleScript users would want to???

I would imagine that wrapping command line scripts in AppleScript for a hint aimed at AppleScript users is reason enough. Beyond that, if you put these two lines at the beginning of your own AppleScript, it would take care of the syslogd issue before executing the rest of your AppleScript. Then there's no need to launch Terminal just to prepare to run an AppleScript.
