I was about to say the same thing, but not nearly as well.
I would guess (having no experience with CD technology) that since the bits (well, the pits representing bits, but you know what I mean) on the outer edge are physically larger than the bits further in that they are easier to read and take less passes to error check. That's a total guess, though.
