No; the source can not be a filesystem or volume.  "destination" in this
context means "the thing that is being sent", as contrasted with the
incremental "source" -- we are sending an incremental from "source" to
"destination" (zfs send -i <source> <destination>).  "target" might be a
better word to use here, although there is some precedent for "destination":

             If the destination is a clone, the source may be the
             origin  snapshot, which must be fully specified (for
             example, pool/fs@origin, not just @origin).
