Once reading that I was sure I encountered "illegal" connections in many
official sets, but I couldn't remember any specific example.
After some thinking I came up only with:
Before the introduction of <part:32002> a common practice was to insert the
"wrong" end of <part:4274> into a technic hole.
As in:

And many other places.
I didn't do the exact math, but I suspect the connection of the tail at six
points is not likely to be in perfect Lego geometry:

Pretty lame, I'm sure there are much better examples. Anyone?
