IMO, without the alignment line, you are looking at the hole, then you're looking at your intended putting line, and when you finally pull the trigger, you hope you are square to the putting line.
If people miss by 2 foot off on a 30-foot putt, then they've missed something and I don't think it can be blamed on an alignment line on the ball....perhaps they chose the wrong line, perhaps they didn't read the break properly, perhaps they didn't hit the ball correctly with sufficient force or too much force (perhaps as we had last week, they didn't take the effect of 30 mph winds into consideration).

My Newport 2 has a line in the putter that I line up in-line with the line on my ball (if that makes any sense) so I know without a question that my putter is square to my line. Then I align my body to the line of my putter and the line on the ball, and viola, as they say...
Takes all the guesswork out of where you're lined up.
