Now I'm curious: why? Not that I don't believe you, but I'm wondering what is the reason? It's not intuitively clear why gloves would make it more dangerous, even knowing that it is.
If a glove comes into contact with a spinning blade, there is a good chance it will pull the rest of the glove, and the hand within it, right into the path of the blade.
Speaking as a person who lost half a thumb to a table saw ...
the difference in your analogy emerges when someone wants/needs you to carve out something more intricate, and you say "it's not my job to be able to do this without gloves".
With gloves it's safer and more comfortable, but you're not quite as in touch with the wood as you would be without one.
Without gloves you feel badass because you don't care about safety, and you might be able to carve out some slightly more intricate things.
Either way the outcome is roughly the same and it really doesn't matter what your personal preference is.
