So after you have had a successful intrusion, you really really wish 
that you had some logs to help tell you what happened.  An IDS can 
provide some of those.  Ideally, one closer to the original concept of NFR.

Or perhaps you work for a group that requires investigating all 
attempts, and it becomes a survival technique to reduce those as much as 
possible. ;)
