Personally, I always run my headlight during the day, in flash mode. I believe it helps some. If it doesn't.. well, I have rechargeable batteries so no big deal..

I don't get why you're so aggro against someone using a front light during the day... if you don't want to use one, then don't.

I said before that here Indiana I see a lot of those modulating headlights.

I don't care if a person wants to ride a bicycle with his lights on in the daytime, but it's not doing anything for him safety wise other then making him feel like he's safer.
