My point is, most injuries aren’t ephemeral in the sense that your body would end up as if you didn’t have the injury in the first place. In particular the sports injuries we are talking about. You may only truly realize that a decade later or so. So I find making that distinction questionable, it trivializes the injuries.

As I said, I agree that bans don’t make sense. But the costs are real, and therefore one should take care to avoid injuries instead of trivializing them.
