Probably, they have a good reason. For instance, they might take 7.04 and analyze every game she has every played at very slow time control. Now, they have a database and expected response for most of the moves she is likely to make. Perhaps the analysis started long ago. They know for sure exactly how it would work with 7.04 Bleeding edge is not always the best thing, if you want a reliable outcome. For the same reason, we won't always see the fastest possible hardware. It could be that the fastest stuff has not been tested. It would be a mistake to try an untested system.
