Can I skip the "salt waiting step" for Tartine Country Bread?

Hi,

What would happen if I added the salt and extra water in with the first mix of the Tartine Country Bread?

I do agree with Autolyse! but can't it all happen at the same time?  What is the purpose of mixing the flour, water, leaven and waiting 40 minutes then adding the salt and remaining water?
