"They like to say sunlight is the best disinfectant when passing records access laws, but the light that you can see isn't the thing that makes sunlight a disinfectant and being able to request records with no power to act is not sunlight, it is a little flashlight.

"Not to say that we shouldn't let in light. We also need to let in the usually invisible forces of UV radiation if you actually want to disinfect.

"My closest analogy for UV is tort law and administrative regulations, power you don't usually notice except in what doesn't happen.

"Like with the missing texts in Seattle, if you shine a light but don't have any unseen power moving with that light you instead just get to see deep infection and see how powerless you are to stop it."
