Yes, I know. So why is 16bits to 16bits allowed?
edit: I'm not saying 16b->16b actually does anything. I'm just confused over the fact that it's allowed, while 8b->8b isn't. I'm advocating for allowing also 8b->8b for when you can just add it to the end of a script or a function, without adding a check to see if it's allowed... (I feel like I'm repeating myself here, everything is already in the original post).
