AI Verified The provided source passage by itself does not contain the quote, but the supplied LessWrong URL does: on that page, a comment attributed to JBlack contains the exact sentence, verbatim, "If you can keep them from approaching within 100 metres of each other, then that necessarily also keeps them from approaching within 10 metres of each other." The page shows the comment under JBlack, and the post itself is dated 10th Jan 2026, so the stored month-precision date "Jan 2026" is consistent with the available evidence.
