Frank I think the logical argument is/was: You use the sideband appropriate for the band when calling CQ on SSB. If someone replies using CW on the same sideband at least you may hear him and, if you still know Morse, only have to push one button to answer on CW.
It is probably less of a deal if you are using a panadapter under the right conditions but many stations don't have (or know how to use) panadapters and simply don't hear weak stations using opposite sideband CW. Of course, all this will become irrelevant as the 'dumbing down' continues and Morse Code (and those who still know it) fade to black.
