I was surprised by page 24: "Definitely Illegal!"

The ⊥ shape is apparently illegal because "because the receiving brick has smaller dimensions than the one being connected to it."

I always thought that was intentionally possible.

I am fairly certain that several older models that I had as a kid had this designed in. So Lego themselves changed their stance on this over time.

It's legal with a tile, illegal with a plate due to the LEGO logo getting in the way.
