Unlikely, as the argument still has to be
made available upon the selection of the appropriate
procedure, and BEFORE the procedure is called.

Wherther the argument is used or not in the
called procedure, the argument still has to be made available
BEFORE the procedure is called.
Anyway, that was a rhetorical question.
None of those reasons is valid or correct.
