Turning left at CEPIN certainly makes intuitive sense, but if that's the
right thing to do then why is MENLO-CEPIN not marked NoPT?
There are three (and only three) possibilities:

1. You are required to turn right at CEPIN and hold at DUMBA.
2. The absence of a NoPT designation is meaningless.
3. MENLO-CEPIN should be marked NoPT; the fact that it isn't is a
mistake.

Given that the ILS 28L approach has an almost identical segment
(MENLO-HEMAN) that IS marked NoPT my money is on #3.


I don't see why MENLO..HEMAN should be marked NoPT.

It's marked NoPT to make it clear that you should turn left at HEMAN
instead of right. (Isn't that obvious?)

If you're beginning the
ILS RWY 28R at MENLO you're not going to cross the holding fix DUMBA.

You will if you turn right at HEMAN.
