Agreed. But it could still possible come back to bite you. Most people who do that have blanket GS in, including things they couldn't possibly report for, like out of base, or even in base for those "non commuters" with 2-5 hour drives etc when they can't instantly find a local hotel.
In any case that was the exception. In general, GS has nothing to do with SC rules.
