Ask HN: Why does Facebook require 2 admins to add a Company, even if sole prop.?

I'm trying to setup Facebook Audience Network for my iOS apps, and Facebook wants me to register a new company entity. After choosing a company type of "Individual (Sole Proprietor)", the 4th tab in their form asks for Admins, plural.

They won't let me make a company unless I have at least two admin users attached to it?! I tried a few support cases to get past this, but they say it's for "data security purposes". Um. There's just me. I don't want to make a fake user here...

Does anybody know why facebook would insist on this?
