I see no redeeming qualities for dings, scratches, and other damage on a guitar. I see it as a sign of not caring enough to take care of an expensive instrument. There are plenty of great sounding guitars out there with few of these de-valuing marks. If they didn't care enough to protect it, did they humidify it when needed, perform/pay for maintenance, or avoid having keys/pocket in their pocket when playing, etc.?
I don't believe in "Mojo", so there's that too.
