Unless the guy hitting you knows to use an open hand strike, with 100% force...Then a bony forehead doesnt matter like it would to guys who only know to use knuckles.
No broken hands. Its not slapping either
Why don't you post up a vid of you demonstrating this technique? I will promise to give it 5 stars

Rather take a shot on the forehead than any place on the face.Unless the guy hitting you knows to use an open hand strike, with 100% force...Then a bony forehead doesnt matter like it would to guys who only know to use knuckles.

Also, anglening the head to take a shot on the forehead ( which is NOT between the eyes) also puts the neck and head in better position to take the percussive effect of impact.

anerlich i got thug life tattooed on my head when i was teenager...so i dont have any room...
Your right...all MMA guys are unbeatable. The only way to beat an mma guy is to learn MMA.
Thats why i make sure I get punched in the face atleast once a week!!!
Well me. I put some dit da jow on my face before and after getting punched.. I stand straight up an squench the muslces in my face 500 times every morning to build my face up..As the punch comes for my face no matter where it hits i squench my face muscles to repel the force. I use my stance to root and channel the force and power of the punch down to the ground. My goal is to develop diamond face shield after my iron face shield is mastered. My gung Fu is Strong. I can with-stand several blows to Face with out being moved from my stance...My gung fu is very strong..you dont want to mess with me!

Head (yang), fist (yang). Body (yin), palm (yin). It's best not to use yang against yang. That's why the only punches on the jong regardless of lineage, are to the body. All the strikes to the "head" use palms.

I agree palm strikes are used to the head and punches to the body on the jong, but punching to he head is a very common technique. Even the basic Lop sao drill,I was told was to the head. Of couse it could be also to the body as well.

There is no REAL secrets in Wing Chun, but because the forms are conceptual you have to know how to decipher the information..That's the secret..

Punching to the face with a bare fist can be very painful for the guy doing the punching. Straight punches especially. A good hay-maker to the side of the head, well not so much.

Once the wing chun punch is properly developed you can punch wherever and whenever there is an open lime IMO.
Also in chum kiu after the last bong wu /kwan sequence there is a short and sweet Tyson like upper cut

Not an upper cut. I know it looks like it...There are a lot of CK actions performed as the inception of attacks, iow the critical points are focused on at the starting point of geometric alignment prior to synchronized execution in later drills and fighting.
CK gives us a unity of facing, turning with elbow / hip focus. Not kata, like, and now I uppercut you from a bong sao while facing away from where I just bonged you...???
Its simply a sequence , a line of force re-centering and recovering the elbow from a raised elbow position of bong... slightly extending for a jut that follows refacing ....same as SLT, tan goes slightly forwards, just so jut sao comes back from slight extension.
Because its done as we sharply align the hips in sync with the elbows, many assume its a 'kata' move or uppercut. Hip and elbow meet at the same time, not one before or after, dynamics along axis rotation/facing combined. Lot of power there with good timing.
The hip driving into the elbow is allowed to extend slightly so the 'following' jut sao with body axis rotation can jut 'backwards' from the slight extension of the previous action....no uppercuts in VT, we CUT through lines of force in an entirely different way.
its only my opinion , I know...
