Oh oh oh! with the sniffers again!”

I don’t know if you’ve heard —yes, I know, it sounds like bias— about something called confirmation bias, and there’s also the well-known cherry-picking fallacy. I’m not saying this is definitely happening, but hypothetically, we might be falling into one of those perception traps when it comes to sniffers, doing nothing about them just because we assume they’re useful. That’s a skewed view of what we think is positive, while ignoring the negative. Metaphorically speaking, it may look like there are lots of blue cherries, but in truth, most are red — hardly anyone uses the Sniffer. A significant portion of the community sees them as useless or unnecessary creatures, and that makes me wonder: wouldn’t it make more sense to give them a clearer and more practical function? For instance, if rabbits could feed on the flowers discovered by sniffers, maybe they wouldn’t seem like such an irrelevant addition. And if there’s a reason why rabbits can’t be allowed to eat sniffer flowers, then why not introduce new mechanics or uses that give these creatures more value? It would be a fair way to break that overwhelmingly negative perception that surrounds them.
