The net double bogey helps keep more of a level playing field when it comes to handicapping. Not having it would produce too many wild swings in index, especially for the average/mid index guys and produce more of an unfair playing field. If you are constantly getting 8-10's then even with the net double bogey your index will eventually show that, and your index will be the "demonstrated ability" to keep shooting 8-10's in a round.

If you don't enter hole by hole or adjust for ESC, then you are sandbagging your handicap, which will piss some people off if you're playing for money.
