New Rule: TryFunctions should only be used on low level functions without database operations

TryFunctions should only be used on low level functions without database operations

This is my claim. But is it true?
What do you think? Is there a reason for a new rule?

TryFunction on high level functions

When using [TryFunction] on a function that calls other functions it becomes complicated to understand where the error happend.

TryFunctions on functions with database operations

I am not sure where I picked this up, but I ether read it somewhere or someone told me.

But apparently, it should be a bad idea to have TryFunctions on functions with database operations.

Examples

Examples on how to use [TryFunctions] from My article on TryFunctions in AL

[TryFunction]
procedure TryDmy2Date(Day: Integer; Month: Integer; Year: Integer; var NewDate: Date)
begin
    NewDate := DMY2Date(Day, Month, Year);
end;

And the use of it.

procedure IsDmyValidDate(Day: Integer; Month: Integer; Year: Integer): Boolean
var
    NewDate: Date;
begin
    exit(TryDmy2Date(Day, Month, Year, NewDate))
end;

procedure Dmy2DateWithDefault(Day: Integer; Month: Integer; Year: Integer; DefaultDate: Date) NewDate: Date
begin
    if not TryDmy2Date(Day, Month, Year, NewDate) then
        NewDate := DefaultDate;
end;
