I suppose on the one hand, I probably understand what this means?

But I hate when guidance is totally verboten because like -

“Babies should not be shaken at all in the first two years of life”. I think has a _significantly_ different impact meaning then when you say it about screens. I don’t think if my baby happens to glance over at the TV there will be significant impacts to health and development.

And I know that, but when you say it’s just verboten, it doesn’t actually provide any signal, and it’s similarly used for things that are less easily differentiated.
