Default angled to target?

Hi all,
Perhaps the angle was originally designed to incline the point toward the target when the blade was held at the side. The angle doesn't seem significant but it might have been sufficient to increase the chances of success. If what I propose is correct then the the angle parameters would be governed by the amount of inclination needed to keep the point on target during the thrust and limited by the amount of inclination that would cause the wrist to bend on impact. Perhaps the aesthetic evaluations derived from these mechanical necessities.
Sincerely,
RobT
