"cover you are touching or IN" doesnt allow much leeway.

So what's your opinion of smoke screens? (smoke launchers) Are you not IN the smoke screen that you produce?

"cover they are in" /= "in cover" - you asumed they are equivalent. Similar difference to "can not move" vs "will be moved" - similar words, different meanings.

The former requires you to be in something physical, the latter doesn't.
