Where do bullets belong?

Speaking of PowerPoint, just what is the deal with outdented bullets? I think they are wacky. Maybe my problem with them is that setting something outside the primary left margin would seem to indicate that the object deserves more emphasis than the primary text--which is typically not the case with your average bulleted text. Or maybe it's some psychological need (read: Catholic guilt) from my youth, and the idea of going "outside" the boundary of the primary text is something you just don't do.

I'd love to hear two cents (or more) from the typography crowd.
