By the same token, if the line is dead on and you misalign your setup by 1/64", you will still miss your line by 3.5" at the hole. And that assumes that you read the putt correctly in the first place. I can just about guarantee you that I can line you up 1/64 off and you won't be able to tell the difference.
IMO, its the mental confidence that you get from that line that makes the difference in your putting, not the actual physical positioning assistance that you get.

Give human eyes a little credit...7inches is alot to be off line on just a 30 foot putt and the little black or red line can be aimed using a variety of intermediate targets close enough so that it is at least aimed at your intermediate target and that is sometimes all you can ask for...
