Quote chapter and verse of the OpenSSL API documentation, or desist from

You can not scold an API user for violating rules that are not in the
documentation.
OpenSSL does its best to document where it fails to make SSL connections
look like TCP connections. It does not always document where it succeeds. It
is assumed that the programmer is familiar with how TCP works and does not
need every similarity documented.
Not relevant, because in this respect OpenSSL does deviate from TCP.
TCP can do half-duplex connections (read side shut down, write side
still operating).
OpenSSL can not do half-duplex connections.
An innocent OpenSSL API user is not told that OpenSSL can not do
half-duplex connections and that he must not try.
What do you see as the difference between OpenSSL's behavior and classic TCP
behavior in this case?
I hope I answered you adequately in the section above, combined with the
supporting details in my previous emails.
