DHCP excluded addresses

Since DHCP by default will not assign a network or broadcast address from its
pool, is there any valid reason to include those addresses in your exclude
statements? The workbook SG's I'm using always put those addresses in there,
and I'm a creature of habit who never does. I feel like my solution is
technically more correct, would the proctors even care?

i.e. ip dhcp excluded-address 163.1.6.1 163.1.6.127
ip dhcp excluded-address 163.1.6.251 163.1.6.254

vs.

ip dhcp excluded-address 163.1.6.0 163.1.6.127
ip dhcp excluded-address 163.1.6.251 163.1.6.255
