Let me ask you ... why do you wear it? (You mentioned earlier that you thought it showed style)... so ... by your own admission, it looks different (in your opinion better) than non-patent-leather.

Different = non-uniform. You could make the equally wrong argument in favor of Light Blue hats. You might think they look better - but they are different, and thus non-uniform. Truly, I'm surprised this is even a topic.
