Why are we not treating Impending Doom this way? Detrimental if it's enchanting the controller's creature, non-detrimental if it's enchanting an opponent's creature.

This thread definitely makes me want to know what is the definition of “symmetrical” we are using.

Symmetrical abilities are triggered abilities that meet two conditions. They:
1. are likely to trigger multiple times per game, triggering for different players
2. have the same effect on both players.
