I don't agree. Once the groove is damaged, that is going to severely impact the SQ of the record, period. Just because your stylus is tracking a slightly different section of the groove...which may or may not be true, doesn't mean to say that the stylus won't be also tracking the damaged section...and that damage is usually pretty significant...and easily heard. YMMV.
