I don't think the government wants to know your whereabouts on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. All that they need is to have accurate residential addresses of aliens so that they can be contacted in case there is any issue with any immigration benefits or if any criminal cases are reported involving aliens.
You are mistaken nkm.
Let me quote my earlier two posts:
****************************************************************
United States v. Estrada-Trochez, 66 F.3d 733 (5th Cir. 1995), in which that court held that notice sent to the alien's last known address satisfied due process, even though the alien argued that the INS could have easily notified his family. Id. at 736. As the Fifth Circuit recognized, it is the alien's statutory duty to notify the government of each change of address within ten days of the date of that change. 8 U.S.C. § 1305(a). The Fifth Circuit concluded: the "ultimate fault lies with the Appellant for [her] failure to comply with a law that is essential to the administration of the INS." Estrada-Trochez, 66 F.3d at 736.

Think about this:
Filling AR-11 and later finding it was not needed, will not hurt you by any means. Not filling and find later that it was needed, will surely hurt you.

Rest I will leave upto you gentlemen, you may also like to re-read previous posts too, law has been quoted, lawsuits shown and form contents discussed(including that it is for PRs). Read law, Murthy's interpretation is based on same - you will also interpret it same way.
It is always good to file AR-11, when you are going out, subletting, you are adult, rather then save 15 min of time - rest your wish.
