If you want to improve your game, don't ignore it. There is meaning to it, but you have to study and research to find out what that meaning is. If you find out the significance of the scratch, which I assure you exists, you will reap the rewards.
Or you can take the lazy way out and rationalize that it doesn't matter for whatever reason.
Here's another thing: if you didn't at least subconsciously think it was important, you wouldn't have asked the question.
Good luck and happy hunting.
