This is cute, but 100% no. In this case, those involved in the decision were aware of the privacy implications. Whether this was discussed openly, or whether the change was made 'pass-the-buck' style, it doesn't really matter. The association of privacy settings with domains is a well-established basic function in the browser.

Is it possible the next write was incomplete when the power cut out? Wouldn't this depend on how updates to file data are managed by the filesystem? The size and alignment of disk and filesystem data & metadata blocks?

You're the only person who mentioned metaphors here. My intuition tells me metaphors will be key to developing AGI. Metaphors literally generalize; they predict; they organize and catalogue. Formation, testing, and introspection of metaphors seems to be a way forward.

I am confused as to the distinction between your "wakeful mind's eye" and your "more abstract mental visualization". Can you more precisely characterize their difference? Is one actually embedded in your visual field, and one not? Can they be employed simultaneously?

When I close my eyes I just see a dull flashing pattern, similar to tv static. If I try to imagine a simple solid yellow circle.. well this is weird but I feel like my consciousness 'spreads' out as though it was an audience of ants in a stadium, and the circle floats in the center. But, I don't really 'see' it.. rather, the countless ants each knows the circle is there and they each contribute a brief chattering about what they see. So I 'know' I'm visualizing a yellow circle, and I can nimbly focus on what various parts/aspects look like.. but it's more a collective knowledge than a visual scene like my eyes present.

It's not merely UX. At the heart of utility, you'll find simplicity and efficiency of use.

If you consider the entirety of your consciousness and the structure of thought processes and sensory perceptions.. If LSD blurs all these things, mixes and merges them a bit with excessive neural activity.. It's clear to see your sensory input will have a significant effect on the experience. Even in this regard, we can consider all the possible associations a given external stimulus will trigger in the brain.
External stimuli may be one of the few contributors of the experience that has a significant temporal persistence, possibly giving it substantial influence.
