Do you mean the R&A/USGA clique that writes the rules?I would not argue with the rules.
The words are clear enough. Attachments which don't affect performance are exceptions,
But it’s not a stretch to think that if you hit the ball on one of these dots it just might react in a different way to the undotted clubface..
Whether that’s better or worse is negligible, but it would change the playing characteristics of the club.
