The type of damage you're talking about only happens with extreme levels of exercise that less than 1% of the population ever attempt. For the vast majority of people, "exercise more" is always good advice.
There is a long list of exceptions.
Isn't that subject to a lot of caveats? Most would be common sense, but I'm sure there are nuances.
For example, if someone inactive and obese decided out of the blue to run five miles every day, I would expect it to end badly.
It is nearly impossible for a low-willpower (obese and inactive) person to suddenly get so much willpower. He will be panting at 300m, feel his legs are made of lead at 500 and the rest would be sheer will? Nope. Okay there are always outliers and some drug users, but generally, no.
I'm pretty sure you're mistaken about joint damage.
How could we check this?
We first have to define terms. What do you mean by 'joint damage'?
