Comments.Text: I dunno if puting a pin in that hole is legal, but my guess would be LEGO would not do this because such a construction would be relatively fragile and easy to snap.

  TLG has been using "bar inside Technic pin" technique, so I assume this is considered legal connection. One thing to consider though - some newer elements with pins are no longer round inside, so you cannot fit *bar* type of element there anymore.
  
  One example from 42043 set (I'm sure there are more examples, but this is something I had in my head immediately):
  
  Roof assembly has these LBG [Technic, Pin 1/2 with 2L Bar Extension (Flick Missile)](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=61184&idColor=86#T=C&C=86)

  Later, in Step 64, you have horns attached with half pins.
