I understand where you're coming from but the exact opposite approach can be just as dangerous. If you don't factor in any type of damage, then you can get a lot of point fighters who are just playing tag in order to win the decision. If they get their face battered up while the other guy is fine and unphased by the taps the other guy is giving, that should be factored in.
By the way, I am not using that point in anyway for the Hendricks-Pierre fight. There are other fights I've seen where it's been like that and I've dreaded the idea of not considering damage completely in the sense you are speaking.
