Right. Even a really intelligently designed stylus guard like Soundsmith uses the fact is you get that close you don't have to be all that big a spaz to do some real damage. I keep mine handy and mount it any time I think the risk of a something catching it by accident is greater than the risk of botching it with the stylus guard.
Also keep a strip of Scotch tape handy. Usually when the stylus guard goes on the next thing is to secure the arm in the arm rest with the tape.
