If it _were_ illegal, yes.  My mom's folks in Kansas used to say "If the
hoptoad had wings, it wouldn't bump it's bottom on the prairie."
(But hoptoad are wingless, that being the point.)

You're welcome to support this via cites (or anything else moderately
relevant), and to establish that benchmarking is "normal usage" within
the meaning of your phrase, any year, now.

Adrien, your reasoning has been circular.  You really should stop that.
