I've no idea why it's authorized, but it saved my day a week ago, in an automatically-generated switch statement that happened to have a "return true;" inserted at the very beginning. No unit test found that and I saw it only by printing the generated code for another search. In a way, it's logical: the code path jumps to the matching case, so it never sees the first statement block before the first case.
