It seems to me that when someone suggests an aiming system they have good intentions. At least that is the place to begin. Later there may be a nefarious reason but that can be worked with at the appropriate time.
In general, I would suppose that the creator has found something that works for the individual and perhaps some friends. The way to discuss these matters would be to first, and foremost find what is right with the system, method, or approach. Not everyone is sophisticated with terminology, math, physics, etc. So the place to begin would be to take the basic idea and try to see where it will work. In that way everyone learns something from the exercise.
Half ball, quarter ball approaches have some merits and some limitations. Aiming with the use of diamonds, the tip of the stick and other methods may also have some uses as reference points that contribute to success and confidence. These could be explored for the benefits. Then the limits can be addressed. In this way those of you who are conversant in various disciplines can assist others rather than come across as bombastic.
One of the senior professors who had the most significant impact on me in graduate school required a lengthy term paper and it could not contain any fault finding only positive findings that would improve our state of knowledge. Limits could be stated to delineate the field of application but fault finding was not allowed. This is an excellent technique that taught me to learn and not waste my time on what does not work. I have used it for a life time and recommend it without reservation!
I have learned some things that are counter intuitive (to most people) because a student had a hard headed notion that we explored and later learned there was substance to the matter. The first thing to do is to explore the idea for its merits.
