That may have come across the wrong way, and I didn't intend it to sound rude in any way.
Sheds are supposed to be scored exactly the same as B&C scoring, except for obvious reasons they don't include a spread. Also, if we were dealing with a rack or matched set, we would want to score it in the way that yields the highest correct score - in that case the short point would be considered abnormal and a deduction. But in this particular case, where there is no other side, the highest correct score would come from the point being considered typical - as long as it is in line off of the main beam.
