Is there a reason why we can't set all research jobs directly to 10?

I am forced to dramatically reduce Eve time for a while and set up some research jobs to let my chars do at least something productive. Some of them take months to reach ME or TE to 10 but I can't set it up in one go. Instead I have to research it to 6,7 or so and then come back once that job is done. I can see that this might make sense for POS but in stations it doesn't.
