You can sometimes get away with this if your cables are short and your EMC environment is gentle. (An EE wouldn't try it, but only because sticking the transceiver in is quite easy.) You can never get away with this if your cables are long and your EMC environment is hostile. That's why we have 232 and, especially, 422/485: for when the job is hard.
