Bending the limits of the machine and doing the unexpected may not necessarily be great engineering, but it's amazing art. It's not uncommon for the best programs to have a bit of art inside them that make them work. Especially in high performance timing critical operations close to the hardware. Very few people work in those realms these days and these types of things aren't often necessary, but they're still beautiful and occasionally outright necessary.
