  Among Swampland conditions, the distance conjecture characterizes the
geometry of scalar fields and the de Sitter conjecture constrains allowed
potentials on it. We point out a connection between the distance conjecture and
a refined version of the de Sitter conjecture in any parametrically controlled
regime of string theory by using Bousso's covariant entropy bound. The refined
version turns out to evade all counter-examples at scalar potential maxima that
have been raised. We comment on the relation of our result to the Dine-Seiberg
problem.
