Shiftout question

Hello!
New project time again. And in viewing my past discussions. Including a few real doozies, I found one regarding how to shift data around a stamp and into two of my parts, a display and a PAL chip that I'd recovered a couple of years ago, as part of a bundle.Here:

As I recall it worked as intended. But in reviewing the instruction that's the title of this one, I realized that its not normally possible to make use of a variable to send data that way. However it did work.
Now the completely funny part, is my logic faulty? Or are my perceptions faulty?
However I do note that its a BS2 instruction, not a BS1 one. That one the help screen is clear on.

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, I cannot think of a single instance in 2.5 where one cannot use a Variable or previously defined Constant or Expression in place of a Literal. EndEdit
