sling attachment to primary mirror; necessary?

Obsession scopes supplied an adhesive patch kit to stick the kevlar sling to my main 20" mirror at the point of contact. This isn't a permanent 'stick'. & I think it's just to help stop the sling sliding off the mirror edge when you're trying to get it under tension to support the mirror. Question:Am I right or does it have any function in stopping the sling (when holding the full mirror weight), from sliding to one side or other of the mirror's edge?
Thanks for your help.
Chris
