But I went through the same line of thought you probably just did. But as I thought about it, I suspect the TB wanted to be able to either count or not count posts as soon as it is created. Otherwise, if the forum is created and we have to wait a minimum of two weeks before the TB can recommend or not recommend counting those posts, that could cause some "issues". Especially if it is later decided to not count those posts.
They probably had other options, but this is the one they chose. And its really not that big an issue.
