Alternate puzzle solution on sp_a4_schrodinger_intro chamber 2?

[pfgithub]

Game Version

1.6.1

Describe the bug

There's a part at the beginning of the chamber where you can shine a laser on a point to get a second laser, and then put that laser into the cube so the other cube gets a laser too. But you can completely ignore that part and solve the puzzle without it. I'm not sure if that's intended? If it is intended then I'm not sure what the point of the other part of the puzzle is.

To Reproduce

Solve the puzzle like this:

The room here is then completely unused except to get the cube in the first place:

Expected behavior

I'm not sure if this is an intended alternate solution. If it is, it seems weird to have a whole section of the map completely unused for it.
