Why? If that function works, it must be because you allowed it. If you
didn't, it shouldn't do anything besides produce an error message. It
may be stretching things, but the attempt could have been a typo.

Personally, I've been in situations where I didn't know if something
was permitted, and the only easy way to find out was to try it. Then,
when it doesn't work, I can let the powers-that-be know the adverse
impact on my job performance. If it does work for me, and I suspect it
really shouldn't, I can also report that.
