Default Re-use Posi Carrier Ring Gear bolts?

I already know this is being cheap. I was about to install a ring gear on the posi I bought and thought I would just use the ring gear bolts I had from an old open unit I had. They look perfect to me. Nicest bolts you'll ever see cause they were of course constantly dunked in gear oil as the ring gear turned.

Anyway, the instructions for my posi say to only use new ring gear bolts... Huh? Just wondering why. I re-use engine block cap bolts and head bolts without concern, so why is this an issue?

Inquiring minds want to know.
