Dragon Maid Weaknesses Revision

In the series and on the profiles, it says that dragons are unable to damage anyone who is holy or wearing holy clothing/armor. This is made evident in the following scans:

However, in these pages later on, Kimun and Tohru-- both of whom are dragons-- cn be seen hurting the same guy who is wearing the holy clothes still.

This would seem to be contradictory at first, but I think I have discovered why it makes sense. When Tohru and Kimun hit him, they used their human versions' fists. When Ilulu tried to attack him, she used her dragon claws and fire, both of which could be classified as 'dragon attacks.'

Thus, the dragons seem to be able to harm people wearing holy garments so long as they use their human forms and not attacks which can be associated with dragons. Does this seem reasonable?
 
But Tohru and Kimun, both of whom are dragons, did hurt holy things. They just had to be in their human forms to do so.
 
Genki actually brought the conceptual thing up to me but unfortunately they don't mention Platonic concepts in the manga, which is why conceptual manipulation or whatnot isn't on their profiles.
 
Anyway

What I'm proposing here is that instead of saying the dragons can't harm holy objects or people at all it should say they can't harm them while in their dragon forms.
