We know its not.
   

It lists all the characters which have points embedded in them.
If you map all those characters away and delete all explicit points and
accents, you have unpointed Hebrew.
 

True. On the other hand, if you simply delete all explicit points and 
accents and also apply the folding algorithm including its repeated 
decomposition step, you have unpointed Hebrew without having to list 
these specific characters, which all have canonical decompositions. So 
your list is redundant.
