Optical isolator alignment chart meme roasts '58 dB in COMSOL is an isolator'

A 3×3 alignment chart meme classifying optical isolator research by stance on bias and scattering — from 'the Faraday isolator is an isolator' purists to absurd takes like 'a hot ring is an isolator (as long as nothing comes back)' and the punchline '58 dB in COMSOL is an isolator (simulation only).' Academic self-deprecation for photonics folks.
