See, you were arguing that losing socks from using a dryer is the same as breaking eggshells for omelettes. But it's truly not as you just proved, because the eggshells are still useful after they get broken! In fact it's even more useful now! Meanwhile the sock? Is long gone and a total loss. And so the proverb doesn't work at all and it's stupid.

So I feel I can say checkmate.
