A tiny human (2?) has spotted a pen of puppies.
Studying them for a long moment, she bursts into tears.
Dad asks what's wrong and looking up at him in abject anguish she wails: "I WANT TO PAT THEM ALL!" (1)

Nerd fact (Iโ€™m a marine biologist after all), when luciferin and luciferase (gotta love the biblical names) join together, they react with the oxygen in the air to make an oxidised complex. After that, luciferin emits a photon, and that is what you see when it breaks

Awesome cloud formations today in Aotearoa NZ
Sea below, clouds above concealing sun - giving light play, with smaller clouds looking like rays emanating from the bigger clouds. Colours predominantly grey with a little blue peeping through the sky. Sorry quite hard to describe โ™ฅ๏ธ

That they have to know enough to be able to fact check the output. If they can't, there's a very realistic chance the output will make them look like a fool.
