I understand it and using BIT() here does not mean someone has to set
both of them. BIT() is a helper pointing out that you want to toggle one
bit. It does not mean that it is allowed to do so always!

There are plenty of such examples so I guess it would be easier to ask
you to provide counter ones. Few IT for enum-like registers found within 2 minutes:
