It's absolutely necessary if you use tools in a collet where you can't guarantee the tool length will be the same each time you load it - makes the tool table useless. Other alternative is a separate file per tool which is a very poor solution. Or the smart arse answer given was "build an active tool length sensor and probe it"...
