Comment (by dd32):

 The admin is really just another loop.

 For this reason, a lot of loop modifying functions I see have a `if (
 is_admin() || !is_main_query() ) return $input;` short circuit. This is
 expected behaviour I believe.. `is_post_type_archive()` doesn't really
 feel like a function you'd expect to use outside of a template loop, but
 it's naming is just for the most obvious use-case..
