For the same reason that I'd deny them the dubious benefit of, e.g., the
following:

    nepredznačeno celo_število Fibonacci(nepredznačeno celo_število N)
    zaviti_oklepaj
        če (N je_enako 0 ali N je_enako 1)
            vrni 1,
        sicer
            vrni Fibonacci(N odštej 1) prištej Fibonacci(N odštej 2).
    zaviti_zaklepaj

instead of

    unsigned int Fibonacci(unsigned int N)
    {
        if (N == 0 || N == 1)
            return 1;
        else
            return Fibonacci(N - 1) + Fibonacci(N - 2);
    }
