In all cases this is required. In your case, it's needed to determine
whether an option is binding or not. After all, if something does not
conflict with a foundation document at all, passing it by simple
majority is binding, whereas if it does conflict then it is not.

To put it another way, who decides whether to demand the author chose
between non-binding and 3:1, if they think it's not conflicting.
