Yes.

Works, the painted rooms psychologically feel spaced out.

It's very reflective though not shiney, if ye stare at the wall from
close - ya eyes don't get much clues (like on plain matt) to focus on.

Dunno what that is, unless I'm also spaced out ...

No not new name for satin. I think it must contain mini glass
particles. I have painted with a pale pink version and when the sun is
on it it is very white, but pink with no direct sunlight on it.

No worse than anything else at showing up imperfections.

Sound like the common 'metallic' on a car. Far more difficult to get a
consistent result than a solid colour.

Maybe its slightly day glo?
IE certain frequencies of light are enhanced, usually lower ones by
absorbing ultra violet and re-emitting it so to speak as visible light so it
appears to be brighter than it is.

No it's not that. Shining a UV torch at it does not show florescence
effects.

Decorators I spoke to were not fans. Like much retail paint you need to
apply a lot of coats (3+), while regular trade has more pigmentation and
means you only need 2 coats for coverage.

Not what I found - 2 coats was plenty, but I was covering a light shade
with a light shade.

With respect, its horses for courses surely? It is no doubt OK if you want
that semi glo effect.
Most of those paints used to be two part, one base coat and a coloured top
coat that could turn both the reflected and direct light into a colour, this
sounds like the reflective tapes you can buy, which my white cane is covered
in like mini cats eyes, ie prismatic or corner cube technology.

It is good for reflecting light back into otherwise dimly lit spaces or
boosting the available light in a kitchen which is how we used it in our
village hall. Rather too expensive for what it is but quite good for
painting on a very flat wall you intend to use for projection TV.
