Why would a bumped worker go to the landing area instead of your active pool?

The publisher and designer explain the trade-off, and players confirm it.

A bumped worker sent to the landing area keeps its strength and earns no income until you take a retrieve turn. Then it gains 1 strength and can collect farm income from one more farm. The active pool gives +1 strength right away but no farm income. Choose the landing area when you plan to retrieve soon. It is not a way to avoid aging.
