I don't really think that the proper metric for a bad light is "causes people to run off the road." After all, I can leave the high beams on all night long while driving and it doesn't cause anyone to run off the road either. It's a huge dick move but by your measure that's just fine.
Never, either here or anywhere else have I advocated running high beams full time while driving or using overly bright bike lights when it would not be safe to do so. That said perhaps you don't understand what, "My measure " really is about. Personally, I don't think I could lay that last sentence of yours on anyone. It's just not in Me.
About my previous comment , "..causes people to run off the road". That was just a rhetorical way of saying that the lamp I was using on the road poses no danger or unusual annoyance to typical on-coming traffic ( IMO ). If it did I wouldn't be using it on the road. I think that most people who read my previous comment understood it was not intended to be an actual metric.
