Purpose of Dome on Tweeter...

What is the purpose of the "Dome" on a dome tweeter? Will a dented or dimpled dome effect the sound dispersion coming from the tweeter? If not, why aren't they just pushed in at the factory? Better yet, if a dented dome doesn't effect the sound, it would seem as if it's a non important part in a tweeter so why not just build a tweeter without the dome at all?

That would be the inverted dome tweeter like Wilson Audio uses.

Its only inverted because they installed the tweeter backwards. Its a quality control issue.

What? Are you serious or is that suppose to be a joke.

Focal also uses inverted dome tweeters, and you can see the differences in design here,

I thought that was a joke. Pushing the domes in at the factory? How could it not be a joke?
