You have completely missed the point of attics not always being very accessible in order to argue for no good reason.
Yes, I would. The respirator type mask which you require in that environment is very stuffy and tough on someone like me who has a lung condition.
It being tiny makes it more inaccessible than the need for a mask does. The opening into the attic is narrow. I can fit through it, but most Americans would not be able to. Once up there, you have to crawl. I have a medical condition affecting my muscles which makes it exceedingly difficult to crawl.
Point is, once again, that not all attics are accessible. This isn't a discussion about masks.
Obviously if you have medical conditions there's limitations.
Going with "your experience doesn't count because you're a little different" is not the winning argument you might want it to be.
When discussing a general situation, one is not obligated to write off every possible situation.
A person without medical conditions can navigate an attic, even if tight, and requiring a mask. That's not revolutionary.
