But what if you’re not observing terrain, but surface reflectance or something else, and the shadows will interfere? This is my problem with “nerds” like the one from the comic. They want to appear intelligent to others and will inconveniently spill out statements that are specific as if they were universal (dunning-kruger, maybe), just to boost their self-esteem.

Well, it is a comic intended to be a joke, not a dissertation on observational astronomy.
Yeah what if you’re observing moon werewolves
“Observe” here refers specifically to optical observation tho
Optical observation like measuring surface reflectance? Or maybe optical observation like artistically gazing at the full moon? ;)
There’s no single universal best moment. It all depends on what you want to observe.
