Marc Andreesen for example has a suboptimal head structure for baldness, however I'd venture to say straggles of the remaining hair would look worse.
Shaved head > BLding head IMO
Sure. I agree that shaving is better than the desperate attempt to cling to the last remaining follicles look.
However, shaving your head does not necessarily mean you're going to look "good", aka Jason Statham mode. A lot of people just look like eggs or aliens when they shave their heads.
