Default cutout effects

Is there any long term damage that may occur from running with cutouts all the time? I've got 2 on my TA, and people have been telling me its bad to have the uncapped all the time. Something about going through spark plugs often and screwing up the valves. I don't know what this guy is talking about, but I was wondering if it is true. Or maybe if there is any other effects.
