Question

We all know there are different classifications of joints within the human body (e.g. ball and socket, hinge, pivot, fibrous, etc.). Why the variety? What if the joints between skull bones had more flexibility? It could be beneficial in the event of brain bleeds/swelling, right? Please give me an example or two of a specific joint, name its classification, and explain the current function and why that joint type is a good or poor fit for that body part/location/function/movement.
