Philosophical / attitudinal question - - am I nuts? Worth fixing? Or, should this fall under the header "suck it up, the car is going to get scratches from time to time. . . . "

I have similar deep scratch on the side door and the black paint is scratched thru deep enough to see white underneath. The manual says this will cause blistering and eventual corrotion eventually.Is that true? Is a paint touch up sufficient protection against corrotion?
