If you have a method that is expecting an array as an argument, where you will be looping over that array, wouldn't you want to make sure its actually an array before you try to loop over it? By setting type="array" CF takes care of that for us. Otherwise, you would need to add a <cfif> to the method to verify that it is indeed an array that was passed in.
