I know some people apply multiple layers of glue, but I've never heard a good explanation of why this would be necessary.

Ask anybody who has rolled one. Maybe most weekend riders can get by without the extra glue, but add in some fast descents, brake heat, and a strong rider and it is better to be safe than sorry. I witnessed a list member roll a tubbie a couple years back. It was an ugly digger and yard sale. I think he's mostly all clincher now.
