There is some benefit to that line of thought - it helps when you know where your teammates are supposed to be on the play. If you start allowing one WR to only learn one route and another WR to only learn another route - it also could get a bit difficult juggling the line-up if you have in-game injuries.
Which makes sense and is fine. It also makes it harder for the defense to plan if you don't know where a WR is going to lineup. But we may not have a choice now and will likely see Strachan and Patmon out there. Which means more mistakes and miscommunication.
