Why does restore change the question created/modified dates?

In restore_create_categories_and_questions::process_question, it does:

$data->timecreated  = $this->apply_date_offset($data->timecreated);
$data->timemodified = $this->apply_date_offset($data->timemodified);

This seems really odd to me. The time a question was created is useful meta-data, not part of the course settings. Therefore, to adjust this date based on the way the course start date is changing seems wrong.

What do other people think?

I would agree especially when we are sharing questions.  No-one would know who had changed it last or when it was last updated for sure.
