Default Night currency question

My question was related to currency - 3 full stops in the previous 90
days.

I have heard of individuals joking about counting three bounce
landings during the day time as meeting their currency requirement,
however, I've never know anyone to actually put it in their log
books. The only general answer I have received is related to safety,
but no further explanation has been given.

The reason I asked was that the FAA is requesting comments on their
regs at this time. Since no one has been able to give a definite
answer, I have submitted a request that the "full stop" be removed
from the language.

Thanks for the "lively" responses.

There may be little justification for that requirement and this may be a
good time to ask the FAA to either provide better justification or
change to the rule because it appears the "FAA Wants Help Eliminating
Useless Rules":
