Not at all. It's like saying that you have to pass another vehicle even though there are double yellow lines on the two lane road your traveling. You see them and you know it is wrong yet you still feel compelled to do it your way. Anyway doing things from the proper secure process instead of the way we use to do it is one of the biggest problems that many of us face. If you don't understand why the rules were put into place and all you see is that they stop your way from working. You feel that it's their fault. Really the problem is that something unsecured could be placed into a secure environment and then some other process could act upon it.
