We propose a conjecture according to which, as a consequence of weak localization in two-dimensional, nearly magnetic itinerant paramagnets, the pair-breaking parameter due to normal impurity scattering, in triplet pairing superconductivity, may be reduced at low enough temperature. It might then, in principle, become easier to observe triplet pairing superconductivity in dirty two-dimensional or quasi-two-dimensional metals, than in three-dimensional ones; thus some recently observed puzzling superconductive behaviors should be reexamined.
