If the company you are short stock goes out of business or its stock goes to a very low price, say pennies, there is no reason to cover.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the general idea you wanted to express is that shorting is good since it brings a healthy counter balance against the classic bias toward people pushing for the price going up (long). But you said on many occasions you shorted and never had to cover. It's the idea that you never had to cover that doesn't sound possible. You say it is.
