What is the actual point of dummy scans?

Hi, I was wondering why so many pulse programs use dummy scans. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think dummy scans are supposed to correct for machine noise, however, I have found that they are somewhat unnecessary.

Can someone explain or give me some arguments in favor of dummy scans?
