Because those tiny Dyna-Beads can get jammed in your valve core when you check air pressure. While jammed in the core all the air will blast out of the tire. The remedy is to pull the valve core and clear the bead, then refill the tire. Or put air soft pellets in and check the air pressure all you want. Have that happen a couple times and it will become old pretty fast.
