You could be right that arrows have no effect. But imo the decision is made on what is a cross or shot before the comment rather than the other way around - comments are feedback, whether real of just fluff for the reader. My question remains regarding opinions on whether arrows play a factor in deciding if you will see the comment "awarded on the right" > its a cross; or "on the edge of the box" > its a shot.
