When a record is flat, it makes maximum contact with the platter mat. When this happens, the record is mechanically coupled to the platter and energy in the LP can be dissipated. Warping has been a continual problem with new vinyl. I'd rather have a 120g pressing that lays completely flat than a 200g pressing that only contacts the turntable at 3 or 4 points.
And then, of course, there's all the distortion associated with tracking a warped record.
