Yeast starter

When making a yeast starter with dried malt I have read on this Form that you should boil for 10 mins.
Is this just to “debug” the malt or is there another reason as the malt dissolves long before boiling?

As far as I know, it is just to ensure sanitization.

Thanks Mark, that's what I thought.
Nice to have confirmation.
