I think it has little to do with ego alot of times. when you give gross and then you give net, it gives a person an idea of what a rack might look like. If I say, I got an 8pt. that gross'd at 110, and net was 106, I imagine a perfect nice little eight. If he said it grossed at 140 and deductions brought it to 120, I think of a snaggly deer.
