It's simple really: if you have good reason to suspect someone, it's a pro town move to challenge them. If you win, you remove a suspect (same as lynching) or kill a mafioso. If you lose you lose, maybe revealing your opponent to have a high score. With the mafia knocking off 3 or 4 of their own choosing every night the town needs greater killing power as well.

Of course...my ibn challenge was because of his namby pamby "watch out or I might challenge you!" post for which he clearly deserved to die
Well the problem is that it really doesn't reveal that your opponent has a higher score due to the fact that there is the random quality added to it all, so that a lower skilled fighter can kill a better one with luck.
