There are different formats for a reason. In Epee the entire body is a target so the "off target rule" doesn't exist. Same with Sabre. Foil must be the format you're talking about. The rule is necessary for the format otherwise it would be too similar to Epee. The rule is good in Foil as it allows for more creativity in setting up your attacks.
