It's just to get perspective. Saying that Elon Musk was born 101 weeks after the landing on the moon, should be looked at in context of how many people were born 101 weeks after events of note. There were probably thousands who were born on the same day as Elon Musk. The exercise helps one decide whether this is an unlikely coincidence or a normal coincidence.
