Would you care to expand on the technical reasons why not???

Seriously you have 3 MAJOR organisations in motor sport sanctioning the use of tow balls for recovery points, so I think more than a one line statement is required to justify your claim, either that or retract your statement and delete your post.

The ALRC accept and in many cases even promote the use of tow balls, although often mounted with the bolts vertical.

The ALRC (Association of Land Rover Clubs) is affiliated with the MSA - their website http://www.alrc.co.uk/index.htm

The MSA (Motor Sports Association):

These rules are actually made and amended by the Motor Sports Council, which is the ‘parliament’ of motor sport; while MSA staff act as the ‘civil service.’

I'm going to assume you know who the FIA are?? Anyhow here's their website - http://www.fia.com/index_1024.html

I'm not saying I would personally use a tow ball but faced with the above organisations saying they are ok, who are we to disagree?
