A retired electrician just told me there was no way to damage CBs by flipping them like switches.

He can't. YOU can killfile him.
They have a rated time/load curve. As the load increases the trip time is reduced which is why you can load them to the max current rating. The cable resistance is measured to to give an Earth Fault Current figure that would trip the CB within 0.4 seconds. If the Live/Earth resistance is too high for the breaker it won't trip fast enough.
