That's why I asked "why".

It's not uncommon that a faulty/suboptimal design leads to
questions for a problem that shouldn't be existing in the first place.

Most of the time, a little background info can help delivering an
answer that can benefit other parties as well, and, obviously,
the original poster.

So -- the answer to this specific question has been given already.
But, it still begs the question: why.
