Why is Windows 7 scheduled task running hidden?

I discovered that a task has to be set for "run only when user is logged in" to be visible. Otherwise it is hidden (regardless of the setting of the "Hidden" checkbox).

This is a place where a minor improvement to the UI would make it much clearer. For example, if "Run whether user is logged in or not" is checked, the "Hidden" box also becomes checked. Or just put the phrase "and task will run hidden" after "Run whether user is logged in or not".
