Crashes and Telemetry

Just had a quick look on the forums linked to in the article. Why is Microsoft asking for dump files, system configuration files, etc when all this stuff is supposedly sent to Microsoft in their Telemetry to help them improve and diagnose Windows 10 issues? Surely they've been automatically sent all these crash reports along with the relevant system details to help them come up with a fix?

I don't get it.
