I understand your point, proposed changes demonstrate flexibility of the infrastructure to support various use cases.
Simple unit testcase will also ease debugging in case of a failure as logic for legality is part or test generation script. Additionally the negative cases are part of smoke tests.

Tests  generated using scripts will always be better maintainable.
