I'd say it should read "any short-cut without a revised clearance or a
cancellation is a legal no-no."

But, ATC is not authorized to issue an initial or revised clearance to
short-cut any required segment of an instrument approach procedure except for
radar vectors provided in accordance with 7110.65P, 5-9-1.
