    Technically, the paper doesn’t need to have been punched, that’s why they’re pointy. You can just jam them through the paper and open the veins.

      That’s just reckless! You’re a maverick who doesn’t play by the rules! I’m too old for this shit!

      I actually do think the point is there more as an alignment guide for a potentially sloppy stack of punched paper (see also the manila envelopes with brads built in), but I would be lying if I said I never skipped the hole punch when it was just a couple of sheets.
