I can't answer about the sock; that has long been a mystery to me too, =
but I think I understand the fall board wear (I'm an amateur pianist =
with some marks on my piano's fallboard!)  If you hold your hand out in =
front of you and stretch your thumb and little finger as far apart as =
possible to simulate playing a stretch chord, you will see that your =
middle fingers are extended way forward towards the fallboard.  So if =
your stretch chord is black keys for at least the thumb and little =
finger, your fall board is at risk, especially in the fast passages.  I =
would suspect that the better pianists have more control and don't have =
this problem (hmm, maybe I ought to have my fallboard touched up!)

                                                           Regards,  =
Mike

  I was talking with a client who was wondering why grand pianos =
sometimes develop wear marks on the fall board above the keys.  =
Admittedly I had no definitive answer.  I'm sure you have all notice =
this, particularly above the sharps
