Another Mystery

Maybe I'm coming at this from obvious bachelor sensibilities (or lack thereof), but can somebody please explain to me why so many half bathrooms have a full set of towels?  It happens all the time.  I step into a half bath and find two hand towels, and two full size towels.  Am I to believe that there are full size towels just in case somebody gets really carried away with a sponge bath?  It almost seems like excessive wetness is being encouraged!  It's pretty much accepted as sufficient to wash your hands after you use the restroom.  I've got pretty good sized hands, and have never gotten them so wet that a standard hand towel wouldn't cut the mustard.  As long as we're over-supplying the half bath, why not put in a couple of washcloths as well?  
I live in a house with such a mysteriously stocked half bath.  There's more towel rack in the half bath than in the full bath!  This decorating was not my own doing, as I am just one renter in a house of three.  I cannot say that when I am decorating my own place it's half baths will have only hand towels, but I will likely be no more able to explain my reasoning than those whom I have asked.  I swear to you I have seen faces turn into question marks as these decorators ponder this question for the first time.  It's nearly 11:30, and now I will probably be up all night thinking about this.  Please shed some light on this mystery.

Said bath towels are also the nicest in the entire house. I'm not sure why someone doesn't simply swipe them so we can move past the "hair-cutter."

My feeling is... its all the woman's fault(yes its always her fault). They don't to appear "cheap" or to scrip on luxury on the guest bathroom.

Since no women live at this mystery home you describe, I have no answers. It's simply...MAGIC!
