The USGA position on spike marks is, in itself, contradictory. How does tamping down a spike mark contribute to slow play, but taking the time to brush sand and dirt or pick leaves and other loose impediments off the intended line NOT contribute to slow play?

IT still begs the question, if a player does not follow proper etiquette and tamp down spike marks after completion of the hole, why should a player in a following group bear the risk of losing the hole due to the previous player's negligence or carelessness?

Leaving aside the absurdity of the slow play argument, exactly what useful purpose is being served?
