Not a stupid question. It's copy-and-paste from the existing test over
TCP, which Dan added in b25e12daf without any additional successful test
I guess the earlier tests in the file are the success cases, and this
just checks that authz restrictions cover the expected failure case of
something that would succeed without authz? Or maybe that commit really
is incomplete?
