It is not as easy.
Does using a cover reduce the chance of breaking the reader while *not using* it? Yes, we can definitely agree with this. But a sleeve does this just as well.
Does using a cover reduce the chance of breaking the reader while *using* it? No, we most definitely can
not agree with this. I explained my reasons why I disagree with this already.
Basically, my issue is with the word "cover". Replace it with "some form of protection" and we can agree.

I don't think one can reasonably describe it as "ridiculous" to hold the view that it is foolish. The fact that you may not share that opinion does not mean that it's not a valid opinion for the person to hold.

Opinion 1: "You do not need a cover."
Opinion 2: "Opinion 1 is foolish."
Opinion 3: "Opinion 2 is ridiculous."
If Opinion 2 is "valid" Opinion 3 must be valid too, by exactly the same logic. Both are putting a value on the opinion of someone else.
If someone is the "valid" opinion that the opinion of someone else is foolish why is it *not* a "valid" opinion that this opinion of someones opinion is ridiculous?
