How Good, Kind, Caring People Became The Bad Guys

When you complain, people judge you. It doesn't matter what you're complaining about. It doesn't matter what you're protesting or whistle-blowing. It doesn't matter if your life is at stake. It doesn't matter if thousands of lives are at stake. It doesn't matter if the fate of humanity is at stake. Someone's first instinct is to suspect you. It's to accuse you of lying. It's to label you a troublemaker.

RFC 9562: Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUIDs)

6.12. Opacity

As general guidance, avoiding parsing UUID values unnecessarily is recommended; instead, treat UUIDs as opaquely as possible. Although application-specific concerns could, of course, require some degree of introspection (e.g., to examine Sections 4.1 or 4.2 or perhaps the timestamp of a UUID), the advice here is to avoid this or other parsing unless absolutely necessary. Applications typically tend to be simpler, be more interoperable, and perform better when this advice is followed.
