When removing the white space above the header, why did we do it in a new header rule rather than change the h1 rule?

I'm a bit confused considering we intentionally placed the 15px top margin under the h1 rules. Would it not be easier to change the h1 margin from "margin: 15px 0;" to "margin: 0;" rather than making an entire new rule for the header tag?

I remember noticing the white space and changing it on my own to see if it worked earlier (by editing the h1 rules), so I'm not sure what advantage this method provides. Is it better since it uses the entire heading tag? Or does it not really make a difference? It seemed to me that editing the h1 rule was faster and simpler than creating a 4 line rule for it.
