A 256 is a 256 whether it is 24 under par or nothing relevant to par. Who really cares what the number means?

I think the argument is based on tournament committees and members of certain clubs wanting the courses to play as difficult as possible to make it tougher on the pros. Members do not want their course destroyed (in relation to par). If you eliminate par, you stop having par 5's turned in 500 yard par 4's for the pros.
