Sure if you intended it for one special purpose and just got lucky with another purpose it would be a good excuse. We don't know what the Scandinavians reasoned other than the possibly often retold war-skip story.

The lesson: If you reserve ressources for a specific purpose either make sure to allow more general usage or reserve multiple different ressources for other purposes too.
