Quote from OptimumG:

"On a car where rules allow, and you choose to do so, a suspension system can be designed where damping adjustments can be made that isolate ride, roll, and pitch. Finding an ideal baseline for roll and pitch damping are discussed below, however, most cars due to their suspension design are forced to make a compromise between the three (this explains the point mentioned above with successful cars using non-ideal damping ratios in ride)."

A lot of people overlook this fact and wonder why people aren't going for the 2.2 Hz number and leaving it at that.

It's also one reason why there is some wiggle room in the damping ratios.
