Why would a OTx / Taranis user do this?

Is it explainable in simple conceptual terms?
If so, can someone please assist me with this and advise about doing it/ or not?

I've never done the calibration setup - but I have a flying buddy that does. Frankly, I don't see a use or it. but he thinks it's the cat's meow. Basically -- it allows you to have both ailerons move the the same direction at the same time -- say both up so you can examine them and determine they are moving at the same speed and have same throw. Same if you have two elevator servos -- flaps etc. I guess I'm old fashion about this - but I just use a ruler. I have enough confusion setting up some of my planes -- running full span ailerons, crow (or butterfly), reversing throttle, and I usually have a fairly full telemetry package to set up. Not saying it's bad - just not my cup of tea.... however ... like I said... my buddy is all about it.
