Care to enlighten us?  I guess PCB design is on-topic enough for this
list. (/me ducks).  The only reason I can think of to run power on
internal layers is that if the designer's loose screw shorts out
something on the surface of the board, the sparks will only be 1/2 the
size.  You sound like you've designed you share of PCBs.  What other
reasons are there?

For the record, my list of "dim-witted" ideas also includes things
like soft power, spam filters, and iPhones.
