Can Gollum, as Guide, reveal the Fellowship to cut damage when the damage is already 0 or the Fellowship is already revealed?

The designer ruled on the zero-damage case; the other points come from replies.

With 0 damage the designer allowed it, since Gollum's text says 'reveal to reduce', so reducing is an effect, not a precondition. But if the tile already reveals the Fellowship, or it is already revealed, the ability can't be used, nor on Eye or special tiles. Gollum ignores a reveal icon on a numbered tile but doesn't stop Event cards that reveal.
