Because, as I said, it will have absolutely no effect at all, and is a fool's errand to believe otherwise. Should I put take over the ASA dial as well?

Er, right...but we do have to take certainly things for granted...like gravity, and that tape over these two terminals is utterly inconsequential to the tests, especially when the battery is out of the camera.
