[Inception]Why did Cobb have to convince Mol to commit suicide (and vice versa)? Why not simply "drop" her from the level above?

Edit: not sure people are getting me. Cobb convinced Mal to commit suicide in limbo, by putting both their heads on the railway line. It's not explicitly stated, but maybe leaving limbo is different from leaving any other level, and he couldn't have dropped her. He might have wanted to make sure she left at exactly the same time as him, because by the time he woke up and dropped her, she could have been down there for years.

Ok, so what about when Mal jumps from the hotel window, and tries to convince Cobb to follow her by framing him. Its not limbo, they both know that, because they just left limbo. Therefore, it is just another level of dreaming, and we know that dropping is the best way to bring anyone out of a dream level.

So, all she has to do is jump, and the drop Cobb when she wakes up. So why the elaborate scheme to frame Cobb to convince him to jump?

they were in limbo. The biggest danger of limbo, if you haven't been there before, is that you quickly begin to lose track of reality, and you can only get out when you accept the fact that it's not real. The ultimate form of faith in that idea is letting yourself die, hoping that you will wake up. 


I believe it was also implied that they went straight to limbo, and didn't go through multiple dream levels to get there.
