Default Why must night landings be full-stop?

Anyone know why landings for night currency have to be to a full stop?

It's true we can only surmise as to the wisdom behind the regulations.
I always assumed the night full-stop requirement was to ensure that night
currency also included night-time ground taxi currency, which is much
more complicated than day-time.


If that were the case, then the regulations would exclude stop-and-
go's, which do not require any taxiing whatsoever.
