Actually, they did say you "cannot" make substitutions and call it "period".
But, I think this debate has turned more into an arguement (which is mostly
my fault, I freely admit), so I should like to take this opportunity to "call
for the question". We have two (or more) very different views on the
subject, and I think it is likely to stay that way for awhile. I am not
going to say that your view is wrong. It is simply not shared by me. Good
enough?
