I believe you're right, but that doesn't solve the problem of making routine full backups, which would come in handy if the device gets lost or breaks.
One can hope future versions of Seedvault care less about what apps want.

I'm being bugged by Seedvault caring for apps that have a 'don't backup app data' flag.
I could live with that being a default setting, which can be manually overwritten in the Seedvault settings for these apps.
Apps not allowing (in case of Seedvault: encrypted) full backups while offering no or bad built-in backups is just cumbersome when trying to have current backups.

Well, some people read something different into my comment. I better delete it, before I create any more confusion...

Oh, they can go in one sentence, if done right.
Nano offers fast transactions on a decentralized network while using very little energy.
Strictly speaking it's not just one blockchain, but one per account, which only the account owner can update (add blocks to it).
This asynchronous design is what makes Nano so fast, because there's no need to wait for others when updating one's own blockchain.
What it doesn't have (yet?) is a sufficiently large network effect, which it may never acquire.
But it is one example of an attempt at making digital money based on blockchain technology, which is not just a copycat, scam, rugpull or other malicious nonsense.
Monero comes to mind as well and maybe a handful others.
Sadly almost all around blockchain is not just not innovative, but outright evil.

Apparently sometimes leaning on amendments of the constitution is required to protect said constitution and hence the people protected by it.

If one takes beta-carotene instead of vitamin a, an existing deficiency can be resolved without introducing any risk of reaching toxic levels.

It's less the motion of the atmosphere that causes the distortion, but rather differences in its temperature and hence the density of the air, which causes differences in the refraction index of the air along the way of the light.
The variable refraction index makes it look like the atmosphere is moving though.
But that's the effect of the light not going in a straight line and not the cause of it.

Don't forget to mention what xylitol does to dogs.
Small amounts of arund 2 g per 10 kg body weight are very likely lethal within a short time if not treated instantly.
Xylitol can be in sugar free candy or chewing gum potentially making one piece of them a lethal dose for small dogs.

Unless you find/invent a new procedure that's way more efficient instead of doing more cycles of known procedures.
