"Dynamic code execution with setTimeout and setInterval is banned"

"You MUST pass callable objects (i.e.: functions) to the setTimeout and setInterval functions. Passing strings will not create the timer and the function will return 0."

It doesn't disallow setTimeout and setInterval. It only bans passing strings to them, ie the following won't work

setTimeout('x = 5', 500);

but this will still work

setTimeout(function() { x = 5; }, 500);

Seriously, who would ban that?
