That is only true for the client side.

Clients address guards by their IP address, and they try hard
to only talk to their selected guard. If that guards hops to
another address, they have no chance of noticing that and
need to select another one.

That makes your node pretty useless as a guard, and it shouldn't
be elevated to guard status.
