That's exactly what I was going to ask you guys, but with respect to blinding bicycle lights.

No one is saying the problem is because they're looking at the lights. You don't need to look at it to be blinded - a bright enough light, close enough (a few feet, from a passing cyclist) and aimed at your face will blind you.

We dim our lights while driving because "looking away" is not a workable solution.

The bicycle, riding in the lane or even moreso as far right as practicable, isn't going to be much problem to drivers unless the light is aimed at them. Or helmet mounted and pointed at drivers. If someone is set up reasonably, nothing needs to change there. But put those lights four feet laterally from a passing cyclist, aiming one or both lights down the road, and you'll eventually cause an accident.
