That’s not a blind spot in my comment. See my final paragraph.

I like the idea, but I can’t come up with any method that won’t devolve into most reviewers only checking the highlighted parts tbh.

I kinda like your idea, but I think it can be difficult to detect some confusing situations. I think it would be a better idea, but I don’t think it’s a full replacement.
