Thanks, I was aware of that. What I meant was "why use that in particular rather than something else?" but I obviously didn't express it very clearly. As Richie said, the square root operation is expensive, so there needs to be some decent reason to include it - I was wondering what that reason was, since it isn't immediately apparent to me.
