Could be true. But from my limited perspective, I'd expect the dimples to be placed in certain areas, perhaps with different sizes. The pics looke like they were just evenly sprinkled around on the piston. If air comes blasting in from the intake valve and then is swirling around as it's compressed, I don't see an even, spread out set of equally sized dimples as being software developed. But who knows, I could be wrong.
