getattr(array_large, "coords", False) will always pass for DataArrays — even if there are no coords, it's checking whether there's a coords method on the class — which in the case of a DataArray with no coords, would return empty (but still return). Or am I misunderstanding?

Empty coords is False as well, that's the trick here:

```python a = xr.DataArray([1, 2]) if getattr(a, "coords", False): print("hey")

b = xr.DataArray([1, 2], coords=[[0, 1]]) if getattr(b, "coords", False): print("hey") hey ```
