Why is it important to prove the pilot flame is lit on a gas furnace before turning on the main gas burner?

The pilot has a thermocouple that generates an electric current when heated to hold open the control valve. If it is not hot enough there won't be enough current and the control valve won't stay open. Thus, gas will not flow to the burner.
