When I worked for the Rolls Royce garage the pencil leads were inserted
perpendicular to the pad surface so the graphite would be "impregnated" onto
the shoe surface.
Like you, I have doubts about Marin's method. Maybe the holes affect the
resonant frequency of the shoe or pads leading edge, sort of like putting a
chamfer on but on the inside.
