Of course they know that. That is why the installer offers "generic
monitor that can do 1024x768" style options for people with monitors not
specifically listed by the installer. The ability to specify the refresh
rates is an *additional* facility to enable users to get the best
results from their monitor rather than the lowest-common-denominator
generic results.

<font face="Georgia">That's not 100% true for Linux. But further
discussion will not be fit in this list, because I once installed SuSE
9.0, and I ran YaST (a kind of system configuration tool), which
insisted that I must enter the H/V fresh rates when I adjust screen
resolution (no generic default allowed). What a nightmare.</font><br>
