For llvm-objdump and Arm Thumb they have something that will keep jumping forward to find a point that finally decodes. Maybe there's something special about Thumb that helps them do that. Probably something like N byte encodings are always N byte aligned (later Thumb can be 16 or 32-bit)

Anyway, no requirement to pursue that.
