REPLY:

You are right, it is not relevant and I'll tell you why.

Manufacturers often make production runs of a particular part which can and do
vary slightly from one run to another.  Just because one run of a part will
withstand say, 133% overvoltage, does not mean the next run will, even though
all parts meet specs. Wise designers know this and stick to the specs.
