This doesn't make sense. Why is the litmus test "eliminate the problem
altogether"? If something significantly reduces the problem then
surely it's an improvement worth considering, no?

You still haven't answered the question from my previous email:

Is there a reason the property couldn't be named something with a
smaller risk of collisions, such as "pagePerformance" or
"performanceMetrics".
