As I said at the very start, it is taken as a given by all sides that the "re-users" would properly check anything prior to reuse and not reuse something that was not (in their honest opinion) 100% serviceable.
As to your post, apart from being in the running for "Silliest Post Of The Year" award, it just doesn't make sense.
Reusable parts (in accordance with the applicable Approved Data) are ALWAYS checked by the LAE prior to fitment.
The gasket you referred to
MAY be reused, subject to satisfactory inspection, it is
NOT required to be reused if it is faulty !
Troll.
