Comment(by DD32):

 Just because a filter accepts 0 vars, Doesnt mean that the function doesnt
 return data.

 That being said, Why is the {{{$accepted_args}}} even there? AFAIK, You
 can call a function with extra vars without issue. (ie. {{{function
 test(){ func_get_args() } test(1,2,3,4);}}}) infact, func_get_args() is
 used commonly by WordPress..

 Suggest invalid myself again, Its not a defect, Its a feature request.
 Filters work by filtering data, Actions work as acting upon an event
 occuring, Thats what they're designed as/for.
