In actual fact, this is untrue. In Codex Leningradensis from around 1000 CE, a small minority of instances of the divine name are pointed with holam over the middle.

A huge range of views on the divine name can be found on the Internet, some unfortunately based on incorrect facts and bad argumentation.
