The only reason I could think of was that it reduces your vulnerability
to dictionary attacks. That said, is it really worth the effort to
focus on "dirty" words? To my mind, if you restrict "dirty" words, may
as well restrict all dictionary words. Not only that, but there are
other ways to protect against dictionary attacks anyway (such as varying
off devices after some number of unsuccessful authentication attempts).
