I'm not sure who you are addressing this too so I will refrain from
commenting further.

I am simply pointing out that though there may be no objection to
re-using a parameter variable *because it's a parameter*, there may be
other reasons to object to re-using it. And because parameter
variables usually have a name indicating their purpose, that often
means that those other reasons apply.

The original poster's example was not a realistic one, so it is
hard to say anything about it.
