I agree that during the day it's not nearly as much of an issue, and flashing is probably better in that case.
At night, depending on how bright your light is and how spasticly it flashes, a driver might look away to get it out of his peripheral vision. That's the last thing you want. The ideal is for a driver to be aware of you and have you in his peripheral vision but not be looking at you. I think a flashing light at night is detrimental to this goal.
