I think strategically it is the normal thing to do. I suppose there is an option of modifying the technique as you gain experience, but I expect these guys are the best in the business and get it right or very nearly right first time. Get the weakest out before they deteriorate any further. Clearly they haven't defined "weakest" so this may be physical or psychological. Possibly they also think with rain coming the extraction might become harder by the hour?
