Interesting ambiguity of the English language in that either way the statement is incorrect.

"A function cannot have only 'in' parameters." Would mean that a function must have at least one parameter which is not an 'in'. This is not true.

"A function can have only 'in' parameters." Would mean that all parameters must be 'in'. This is also not true.

While a function may contain 'out' or 'in out' parameters, there are some who believe that it is not good programming practice to use them.
