I don't remember if closed bolt guns are "supposed" to be easier on paint but could the myth actually be true?

Based on the info Tom is hinting at when he talks about sanding the bolt tip, could closed bolt guns actually be easier on paint?:confused: Because the bolt is not moving forward and nicking the paint waiting to be fed, no fractures are forming. Is that how the timing on cockers and shockers work? They time the bolt speed so it gets back under the ball stack before one can be fractured?
Even if that isn't true about the timing part, tell me what you think about this. As of now I am under the impression that closed bolt isn't necissarily better but I would like to hear what you have to say.
