True. it's even more stupid to put the hole closer to the edge or spine, where it becomes a stress raiser and can result in catastrophic failure if it is ever actually used for anything. The compressive spine & tensile edge stress go to zero at approx. the centre of the blade. I'd fill the holes by peening in a brass slug & cutting it off flush, welding it would affect the heat treatment.
