I can. :) 

Example: the user fills the cells with some content and then changes the column
widths to be optimal (whatever it means). Later on, they may change the content
slightly, like fixing some typos or making some other minor changes. It can
happen that the user still wants to keep the existing postion of each column,
for example, because they placed some wrap-through images or frames here and
there. 

I admit, in many cases applying such images and frames is not necessary or can
be avoided but there are some other cases when they provide the
quickest/simplest solution. In those cases the user may want to preserve the
overall layout of the page, including the table cell positions.
