If it was an absolute no no to not have this functionality (along with flashing text - another one that brings out the same response) then why does the tool (VFP, etc.) allow for programmers to do so?

A car allows drivers to do 1 mile an hour on the highway and 120 miles an hour in a school zone. Just because the tool allows something does not make it smart for the programmer to use the features any way they feel like.
