I think you are missing the point of obedience, Mary. We don't say "well, I'll obey God because His command sounds OK and I was going to do that anyway and it won't make me look foolish" and so forth.
If Jesus took that approach, would He have obeyed His Father? What would He say?
When we believe we have heard the Word of God command us, we don't ask if it is a silly command or not. Love "demands" we do what our beloved asks.
Now, the question is whether Paul's writing about women covering their head was meant to be an eternal command or a personal opinion. Elsewhere in that section, he gives opinions. But if our Church tells us this is to be so, we obey, believing that God speaks through His Church.

I will always try to obey God when I know He's telling me to do something. If you read my reply carefully, you will see I said I would be willing to cover my head if He asked me to, as He did one of the women in our church whose head was covered for several months until He said she could stop. I have no problem with obedience when I know it's from God and not from a legalistic way of looking at things.
