Seriously, it sounds like the job of an ID checker is so ardous and complicated, that the TSA doesn't like relying on them to competently send people to the appropriate line. So they double check the work the ID checker does.

Sounds like hard work to me.
Not all flyers are frequent or have flown 100,001 miles in a year. Sometimes through, confusion, misunderstanding, or down right orneryness, passengers don't do as requested, so someone directed to the selectee line, may not end up there. That may be difficult for you to believe, but passengers do get confused at the airport.
