Is it legal to build track that blocks another player or can never be finished?

The designer said only head-on builds are illegal, and the FAQ says making another's track unfinishable is intended.

Yes. Blocking is an intended part of the game; you need not leave room for others' plans, and a build with no legal destination is allowed, though it becomes unowned if not extended. What is illegal is running off the board or building directly into another player's track.
