What is actual use of dbms_assert.noop ? Since this function performs no error checking and returns the input string as it was entered.

Read here on Pete Finnigan's blog where he discusses the dbms_assert.noop
function. it mentions:
This (dbms_assery.noop), we can now clarify is used to mark a piece of code that is not to be tested by automated test tools (presumably Fortify) as this function does nothing except return the string passed unchanged.
By this, what I have understood that I can use this function where I am passing actual piece of code through a variable and I don't want it to be checked for SQL injection attacks.
This is one of the many uses of this function.
