That's not true. Have you never hidden in a bush near a practice ground with a telephoto lense and long range microphone?

if you allowed "let" serves to stand, I'm sure a lot of players would be able to deliberately allow their serve to clip the top of the net and get cheap points. But if you made these serves become a "fault", there'd be lots of controversies over whether a ball barely ticked the top of the net or not.
