That is true; but it’s enough to create a single counterexample, so I can simply specify the neuronic whip being used under circumstances where there is no social damage (e.g. the neuronic whip was discharged accidentally, no-one know Jim was there to be hit by it).
Much of what could be called damage in this context wouldn’t necessarily happen within your body, you can take damage to your reputation for example.
You can certainly be deluded about receiving damage especially in the social game.

Yes. I didn’t mean to refute your idea in any way and quite liked it. Forgot to upvote it though. I merely wanted to add a real world example.
