That would defeat the purpose, see below.

I should have added that, as with the synchronizer, one does not accept and 
implement the macros generated, if any. Basically, this check determines if 
*any* macros are being created. If update footprints is selected, it will 
also detect if any footprints have been changed. It will not necessarily 
give an *error* if the schematic is different; rather it will create a 
macro to implement the change. If there are no macros the schematic and 
board match.
