No, it proves that making the statement optional doesn't fix the problem.
It's currently impossible to write an algorithm which BOTH reliably detects the header AND is future-proof with no additional maintenance. Considering how susceptible LDraw is to the incursion-of-real-life-responsibilities problem (myself being the latest victim-in-point), future-proof algorithms are good things.
