That is probably correct, even a soft malleable rubber will damage the surface of your paper. Perhaps only bread - used in the olden days to help remove charcoal - will leave the surface of the paper relatively untouched...
I suspect that by using your eraser you are slightly roughening the surface of the paper which is then able to absorb some of the ink more readily than the un-touched paper...

I believe it is fact that men usually do find the bra straps difficult...

Just to show how relative dark and light is - often it is the surrounding that makes the difference...
