Two part answer:

1.  zImages load into low memory (the first 640k) while bzImages load
into high memory (above the 1M point).  Some older PCs will only boot a
zImage and there may be some arcane reasone why you might use it on a
more recent model.

2.  It doesn't beg the question.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question
