I concur. If a cyclist uses reflective tape and/or other reflective materials, it's a completely different discussion than if we're talking about "reflectors". I've taken The Rig (pictured) and leaned it in a dark area and driven my car towards it and by it on both high and low beams, and it is very visible. I didn't photograph it because I was just seeing for myself. It's quite a different picture than reflectors alone. I'm not saying that this is better than lights, I'm saying use both.
