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?

Sorry Zd, slept late this morning, let's get another cup of coffee.

As far as jokes, the best one was what a wife of a potential speaker buyer said when the grill was removed exposing the woofer with a substantial phase plug,

"Oh, little boy speakers"

Myself and the rest of the guys were speechless.

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,
