Breaking from the head spot

Everybody knows why the WNT have the break set up the way they do. However players figured it out and now the 1 still ends up in the side. So if you really wanted to eliminate that from the game why not require players to break from the head spot? Or would they just figure that out too and they find a way to always make a ball?
I've often told my buddies that the 1B (head ball) is the only guaranteed ball that you can make, no matter what game or break box. If the money ball is on the spot, or the head ball on the spot, the head ball is still makeable. Once you kind of get a ball going (ex. wing ball in 9B) always focus on making the 1B too. Even with a slug rack the 1B can be made if you inspect the rack.

Currently I think the break format is ok. I mean, the break should be a skill shot but at least they are sending balls all over the place instead of just pussy footing the break. It's a skill shot, develop the skills or hope your opponent hasn't yet done so.
