Not at all!  I wouldn't do that...

The question re: shorting the output was VERY specific and implied the
knowledge that such a thing was NOT a good idea.

I answered the question directly from the datasheet - YES, you can do
it "for a short period of time".  But I did go to the trouble to look
it up instead of blowing it off.  Mostly because Leon had said it was
possible and, therefore, he had read something I had missed and I
wanted to know what it was.  Seems I am always playing catch-up!

I also pointed out that I wouldn't personally do it, even if I could
control the time.
