The difference between one generation and the next is not always visible,
but if you compare generation one with generation eight it probably will be.
Also, what you see on screen (equivalent to about 72 dpi) vs. a printed
image may be different. You can't always rely on visual interpretation to
decide if you are degrading the image (it will be if you edit and save),
only if the result is acceptable to you.

I would think the important thing is check the saved copy to see that you
have not lost any detail. You can usually reduce the size of a JPG file
dramatically without losing anything important, you can always archive a
higher resolution copy if you think you might need to edit it at some time
in the future. If a 50K file is perfectly readable then why use a 50MB
file?
Just don't overwrite the original high resolution copy of the file with a
lower resolution copy.

Of course, anyone getting a JPG file from you can open it and then save it
in TIFF format if they're concerned about data loss.
