More importantly, do people actually think they look good? There was a guy with bullets on his wheels and everyone was fawning over his death bike. Maybe the same people like camo jerseys, I don't know.
Why would a road rider buy camo or brightly colored faux camo "disruptor" jerseys? I'm sincerely trying to understand.

I don't think you understand the theory - while yes, a brightly colored jersey is easier to concentrate on, the breaking up with a lot of bright colors makes it more noticeable. On the other hand it has the unfortunate side effect of not allowing passing traffic to know exactly where you're at. So, theoretically, that would cause them to give you more room, in practice that doesn't seem to be the case.
