Relationships while Updating

I've joined a company as a scheduler and their philosophy doesnt make sense to me. They tell me if the activity is completed, relationships doesnt matter. For example, Activity A is predecessor to Activity B with FS relationship and no lags. They say it is ok for activity B to have start and finish dates ahead of those of Activity A, as long as both activities are completed. They do that all over the schedule and always left the original relationships.
I believe it is wrong to do that even if activities are completed. Can anyone please help me understand why I am right/wrong..
Thanks

Raj,Fact can overwrite plans.
Raj,
Fact can overwrite plans. If you have two activities A (10 days), and B (10 days), and a FS0 from A to B, and on day 10 you go to the site and experience that A has started but not finished yet (you need two more days), but B has started two days ago, then this is the fact that overwrite the plan.
It means that your original FS0 was wrong somehow, because you could start B before the finish of A. So relation doesn't count in this case.
However if you did not start B, then you should estimate its start after the expected finish of A. So relations count in this case.
Hope I could help you
Miklós.
