M-L Summits: Why Bi-Wire?

If the M-L Summits carry on-board amps for the woofer section, why do the speakers have two sets of binding posts? It's not as if you can disable the on-board amp, right?

I have to admit that my first thought upon reading Kenscollick's response was "oh come on ... what a crock...." But then I thought about it some more and it made perfect sense, really: some of us have single bi-wire speakers and it makes sense to provide "dummy" binding posts for those extra connectors. Very nice. Thanks again!
