Perhaps I am missing something here, but if indeed it was the practice for Jews to cover their heads when they prayed. What then did Paul mean when he said that man dishonored his head when he covered it?

I am trying to see it your way, but Paul's statements just don't make sense in view of what you say was the practice of the day.
Yes I know that you said that we shouldn't just take that verse or passage without the cultural surrounding. But when I put the cultural view that you say was practiced into this verse, it makes very little sense to me.

The only logical thing that my mind can come up with what you say was the cultural norm. Is that Paul was telling the people that the cultural norm was wrong.
