Because perhaps you want to see how a potential purchase would affect
your budget?  For example, I might not yet have purchased that truck,
so I dont have an account for Liabilities:Loans:Truck...

Also, sometimes it's useful to have different "views" of your budget
depending on what exactly you're looking for...  (In a similar vein it
would be nice to have different views of the account hierarchy, but
that might be more challenging to implement).
