There's also the issue of having a file on your Mac for less than a 
week; for example, a file that existed between April 10 and 15. That 
file will remain in Time Machine until May 15. But if Time Machine only 
retains April 9 and April 16 as the weekly backups, after May 15 the 
file is gone for good.

Keep files for more than a week in the same location, in order for Time 
Machine to retain copies of them (subject to your points 1 and 2 above.)
