Hell no, this is a fight to the death
I think it's quite an interesting debate because it highlights yet another ambiguity in the regulations that appears to be based on what people consider to make up the regulations.
As I've said all along, personally I wouldn't do it unless I had absolutely no other choice because I don't consider it to be good practice, I much prefer to extend the ring onto new outlets because it provides better options for future changes and greatly reduces the risk of someone down the line adding a spur from a spur.
So yes, we can agree to disagree
