F-1048-L&R - Machine CS or Dimple bottom flanges?

I can't find a reference anywhere that says whether to CS or dimple these holes. It obviously needs one or the other since the holes in the bottom skin are dimpled. Did I overlook this instruction or is this another situation where "Vans expects you to know this but this point"?
 
Yeah, I spoke to vans this morning and they confirmed it should be dimpled and that there are lots of places where they stop providing every detail. I do understand that, however, I do not agree with it. They teach us to read and follow every single little detail in the instructions and then just stop giving those details at a point when “you should just know by this point”. The benefit of leaving those details out is what? A few less pages in the instructions??

I would certainly think that leaving those details in there would stop a lot of useless calls like mine just to verify that what I should know, I do.
