We would then not only skip our own OGM but erroneously also any other, following OGM in the aggregate. For another, we might receive an OGM aggregate which has our own OGM in a place other then the first one. Then we would wrongly not skip this OGM, leading to populating the orginator and gateway table with ourself.
