If you do that then you cannot use the results to compare the two functions.
For a benchmark to be valid the input has to be the same for all
contestants. If you reuse the output of one function as the input to
another, then that is not the case.

Remember:

function xyz: string;

is for all practical purposes the same as:

procedure xyz(var Result: string);
