While things may work when done abnormally, you can remove the
*expectation* that they will, and add the expectation that you may have
to do more work to make them work.

It's a pointless thing to do, you get zero real benefits, and several
deficits (both you and any neighbours).  It's tin foil hat superstitious
territory.
