There are all sorts of issues with allowing (disabling mend) broken/malformed code. You might forget that it was done. The editor may not be able to resume the edit with that code (fails to load book).

BUT
It may be necessary due to conditions (Laptop battery running flat, employment) where you must shut down NOW, rather than find and fix the error that is blocking the save without auto-mend (whose mend may really be UNDESIRED, like what happened here.)
