WEP Passwords

Why do WEP client programs ask that I enter in the WEP key more than once?  The fields are typically like a “Password - Password Confirm” type thing, but if I type it in wrong it’s not going to work, so why ask me to try to type it wrong twice?  It’s a difficult hex key to type anyway, just let me type it in once and let the 802.11x authentication tell me if I’m wrong.
