Why Tom recommended NOT to use a gateway for FW Clients

On pg400 of Tom's book (ISA Server 2000) he says "you should not
configure your firewall clients with a default gateway" (last sentence
above "NOTE")
Can anyone comment on what would be the downside of doing this - is it
because of a performance or security issue?
