But then the 1st putt's grid should look like the putt below's grid (on the right).
...
More so, if you were to hit the grid slope indicator icon (fig. 1 bottom right) the dots would move down to the hole. Then, at the same time and view, on the other side they would move in reverse toward the hole.
Not necessarily (for both of these statements). If you look at Scott's diagram again, the highest point after passing the cup is still below the starting point of the putt. So, relative to the 1st putt starting height, all points would show a down slope, even to the point that a change in color might not be observed. It's all about how high the start of the putt is relative to the rest, and how gentle the opposite slope past the cup is .
After going past the hole, the colors will reset, and show a relative slope going in the other direction and with color changes. This less severe slope in opposite direction could still be hidden by the image on the left (for the first putt). And the vertical (up/down) slope indicator would also show dots moving in the same direction... only slightly slower.

I don't see it so, meaning I've never seen the distance indicator go 'putt 10 feet down 6 inches' then move the pointer past the hole and the hole now says 'putt 12 feet down 4 inches' (saying that behind the hole it is going up, as Scott's diagram shows)
Now that I think about it, that might be confusing to someone lining up a putt and judging the amount of power. That's why I said I had an idea why the putts are rendered this way.
Think about the situation: e.g. put the pointer 2 feet in front of the hole and lets say is says '8 feet down, 3 inches', then you go on the hole it says '10 feet, down 6 inches', then go past the hole 2 feet and the pointer says (similar to Scott's example) '12 feet, down 3 inches'.
If you have a video of example of the aim pointer demonstrating this occurrence, or anything similar, please share it. This would concur w/ Scott's diagram. IMO
Again, pointer distance and elevation:
a) 2 feet before hole: '8 feet, down 3 inches'
b) Over the hole '10 feet, down 6 inches'
c) 2 feet past '12 feet, down 3 inches'
In 'a' the putt is going down. In 'b' it's even lower. Then, if it is as you say, then past the hole 'c' would say something like a number higher than the elevation over the hole. Isn't that logical? What am I missing? Can you show an actual example?
Plus the grid slope indicator icon (fig. 1 bottom right) dots move as the slope is, meaning just as the left to right dots can move on an undulated green, sometimes R-to-L and also L-to-R at the same time, I'm sure everyone has seen this: Dots moving criss cross, both ways so the grid slope indicator icon (fig. 1 bottom right) should be the same, if the slope is going down the dots move down, and they do, but if it goes up in the back on the other side the dots would move the other way. Just as the dots on the horizontal grid behave, and why would it be different? Maybe there is a situation when they do. But I haven't seen it:
Grid slope indicator icon (fig. 1 bottom right) dots moving down toward the hole in the downhill putt, then moving the REVERSE way on the other side of the hole.
