The idea was to show that some instruments can double on important lines, particularly when you mix certain timbres (like horn or woodwind with strings), to bring out that particular line.

Also that you don't have to treat each pair of instruments identically.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
