Occam's razor cuts both ways, which is one reason it's not an especially useful tool in philosophy. If simplicity is our guide for theory selection, then the simplest theory, which is that someone drilled a white dot into an unstamped pipe, should be preferred.
The truth is, we don't have any idea where that pipe was made. Until we see telltale signs of production in the Dunhill facility (again, tenon, slotting, mortise size and shape etc) the jury is "out" at best. But the jury has already quite rightly decided - Not a Dunhill stem, not a Dunhill finish, not a Dunhill shape... why are we still assuming it's a Dunhill?
The pipes I pictured above have white dots. Which is a Dunhill?
