dbms_sql.parse Quesion

Hi,

 From the PL/SQL packages doc:

>DBMS_SQL.PARSE Procedure

>This procedure parses the given statement in the given cursor.
>All statements are parsed immediately. In addition, DDL
>statements are run immediately when parsed.

Any reason as to why DDL statements are executed when passed to DBMS_SQL.PARSE ?

Rgds.
