Right, and no doubt training+seal is very important for protecting oneself. But let me go here again, source control is different. I think this is my most plain-language analytic argument for why that's so.https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/dont-wear-mask-yourself/610336/ …

I thought a lot about this, and am happy to follow through the challenge. Are you touching the outside? Better it's outside the mask than on your face, obviously no? Touching the inside? Well, it's your germs and that's exactly what we are trying to protect the world from.

What is the scenario in which a no-mask situation is worse for the wearer than a mask scenario in the community? I cannot come up with realistic ones, and this is what I thought about most because that's a real argument against masks.

I am pretty certain they do not lead to false sense of security. False sense of security is rarely ever found as an important factor for anything but for this we now have data.

No it wouldn’t. In all those things, the safety benefit completely outweighs what false sense of security you might have. And recreational skiers can even be more cautious because of helmets. I review all that in paper of mine above. That said...
