If you get rear ended and without a hole cut it deforms but does not tear, you still are sealed from a very likely leaking gas tank in what probably was a nasty accident. Now, same accident, but with that layer of metal already punctured, now you have a lovely access point for fumes,or fuel to come say hello.

Highly unlikely and highly theoretical, but still, something to think bout.

Just seems backwards to me.
