Rather than notating only what is physically possible for the player, the notator tries to show the musical sense of the passage. So, here, we have two voices, and the notator is trying to show each voice completely. At this point, the two voices converge on the same pitch. (If this were scored for two instruments, both would touch that note together.) HTH, David
