well that would assume that we always know by looking whether our
skin is intact. Im not sure gross examination is good enough

I agree. I don't think we can always see breaks in our skin. I have always
been taught that we still need to glove because of 'microcuts' that aren't
visible. Bacteria and viruses are awfully small!
