GBU-24 dropping bomb anytime while in CLAR?

What I missing here?  From the manual

The Paveway III computes a launch acceptability region (computed LAR or CLAR). If the bomb is
dropped within this region, it can maneuver onto a target that is being lased.

My understanding is that it should be possible to drop the weapon as soon as the ASL dot on the HUD goes below the LAR maximum, however holding down WEP REL, the bomb does not drop until the dot crosses the FPM.

Sure, I can select CLAR override and then the bomb can be dropped at any time; but my understanding is that it should be possible to drop the weapon whenever the aircraft is inside the CLAR (without enabling the override), this does not appear to be the case.
