Are those little holes......bad? They aren't even really holes, but they look like they could be someday. She's been outside for the summer but there's no bugs in her soil or on her, maybe just wear and tear from being outside? Those are the only two leaves on the entire plant with the "abrasions", should I cut them off?

I had tiny holes like these on my albo pothos. I contacted Planta for advice, there was none as the plant was healthy otherwise. I thought it might be a characteristic of the plant, it wasn’t. Like you I’d checked for pest, sprayed with neem and reported. Since it was growing I stopped worrying and now the new leaves are coming out hole free.
