However, the fact remains he is more valuable to New Zealand cricket swinging a willow than establishing cherry marks on his whites.
The Cardiff Metropolitan University experts last month found Williamson's bowling action to be illegal.
In other words, the biomechanical test concluded he was on the wrong side of ICC's allowable degree of "chuckability".
Three umpires and the match official cited him during the second test against the West Indies in Port of Spain last month.
Biomechanical tests have proven his action exceeded the 15-degree of allowable flexibility.
The adroit batsman, who has carved up seven test tons and three ODI centuries, has claimed 24 scalps in the five-day format and 23 limited-over ones.
It doesn't help that he wears a long-sleeved shirt on mostly crisp summer days.
His detractors have been wailing about his action and the shirt gives them more ammunition to fire.
In fact, Williamson came under public scrutiny not long after making his international debut against India in 2010.
Hesson reportedly told Radio New Zealand it's no surprise Williamson was reported during New Zealand's second test defeat to the Windies in Trinidad.
Williamson's action, he had said, had always been controversial and it hadn't caught the Black Caps off guard.
Does the heir to the batting throne in the country deserve that sort of stigma?
Some will argue chucking isn't cheating but, honestly, that doesn't really cut it.
Go to any park in Hawke's Bay in summer and you'll hear even Little Nippers huddled in a corner dissecting the action of anyone they perceive to be a chucker.
That als happened at a premier club match at Nelson Park, Napier, with some spectators livid that umpires were letting a bowler "get away with it", not to mention the match spoils.
I mean this aspect of the game even eclipses the controversy of whether a batsman who has feathered a ball to the wicketkeeper or slips should stand his ground until the white coat lifts his forefinger to the heavens.
With so much compelling evidence that Williamson's action wasn't acceptable, how did he slip through the system?
Elite Black Caps camps aside, it seems the talented grafter has come through an age-group hierarchy of systems in the ND area without anyone pulling him aside to suggest he needed to readjust his action.
I hasten to add the ICC 15-degree clause was adopted in November 2004 when Williamson was in his early teens.
I know of cricketers who have quit in their teens because of the constant sledging from peers on the park.
It must be a horrible feeling and pretty humiliating, knowing your own teammates see you as a chucker, let alone the opposition or public.
Bowlers under scrutiny must have sleepless nights.
How does that translate for suspect bowlers on an international stage?
Many have gone back to the drawing board to revisit their actions before resuming their professional careers.
No doubt the onus is on Williamson to do likewise and, reportedly, he has vowed to conform to satisfy assessors in a bid to return to the bowling crease.
The Yorkshire County cricketer is far too valuable to have bowling distractions get in the way of something the Kiwis desperately need - runs, that is.
At a time when he should be reinforcing his status as a world-class batsman he will instead be warding off the demons of the likes of Muttiah Muralitharan, Shoaib Akhtar, Harbhajan Singh, Jermaine Lawson, Kyle Mills and Brett Lee, to name a few.
Note, they are fulltime bowlers, not part-timers or allrounders for that matter.
Ironically, Australia spent a good part of a decade trying to ban Muralitharan but now have him as a specialist in their coaching stable.
If Williamson is a part-time bowler then it's time to focus on his fulltime job rather than moonlighting.
As for the chuckability rule, I say why not make it an open slather towards a throwing paradise.
As it is, the summer code is obscenely partial towards batsmen.
With today's technology the batsmen will inevitably find a way to counter chuckers.
On the flip side, manufacturers can conjure up a wonder ball that won't grossly favour chucking seamers and spinners.
