That's true.

I use a hood religiously and wear a camera strap that keeps the lens pointed down (it hangs at my left hip).  I've never scratched a front element in 40+ yrs of shooting (no protective filters).

Though I have indeed personally witnessed a shattered filter from a dropped camera leave scratches in a lens (fellow photog).

Knock on wood!

ps. NOBODY drops lenses... until they drop one.
