Why Do I Need to Pause?!

Can someone please explain why I need to execute a Pause for X minutes before a Wait action, just to prevent the workflow resuming?

If I leave out the Pause action the workflow seems to detect that the Modified field - which I'm waiting for an update - has changed, but it really hasn't because the next expected user hasn't changed anything!

it might be caused by sharepoint batching - your former changes to the item weren't effectively written to the list item until after wait for action started to watch for changes.
