No single lighting setup settles that question. Compare multiple controlled angles and describe the visible observation without asserting material specifications that have not been verified.

Method note for “Crystal reflections: why a dark patch is not a coating test”: use “No single lighting setup settles…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence.
