It can result in wear and tear, it can also result in strengthening. The relationship between enhancement and degradation, and associated outcomes, is far from simple.
- Cougher 7y agoThe fact that it isn't simple doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. How much of that strengthening occurs, does it occur in the same areas as the potential damage, and can it outpace the damage and if so, for how many people? The body may be fascinating, but it sin't miraculous.

It's not miraculous, nor is it especially fragile. It's the latter implication I was addressing. "Bad things happen" is only half the story. Alone, it represents and encourages a skewed perspective.
