Why can’t I have a CNAME at the zone apex? (isc.org)

My shop did an application cutover today and when making DNS changes it hit me that the app has it's own domain, with the <domain.tld> A record == front end IPv4 address.

Lucky for me my websearch on the terms:

> can the domain RR be cname

took me to the authoritative site and helped me not shoot my wee-wee in the foot :-D

DNS: so easy, anyone can eff it up.
