Yes and yes... There is the standard orthodox line that you will
have read from Flavell on the first question. It is perfectly
right. Study it and then in a real situation that calls for it,
set the base to be less than 100% anyway... But try as hard as
you can to avoid this for the reasons he gives. You won't
understand what I am saying until you have more experience and
deal with many real clients in the commercial world, so my point
for now to you is, it is about as sinful as a Catholic couple
using morning after pill.
