The idea is that you don't want to be setting any more dates than absolutely necessary, because doing so restricts OmniPlan's flexibility to schedule tasks. In my opinion, you should only set dates on things over which you have no control, and if OmniPlan then schedules tasks at times which don't make sense, it is because you haven't properly described the interdependencies of the plan. I tend to use a milestone as a marker for such items, and then establish a dependency to that milestone rather than setting dates on tasks.
