No, it's not naive - I may even have a hard time giving an
answer that satisfies any other member !
I am mainly interested in details and classes of orbits,
method and accuracy of positional, visibility and lifetime
predictions, general size, age and kind of object
( active/inactive payload, rocket body, debris ), and
to some extent the relation between flashing pattern
and rotation period/axis.
