I complained about some strobes I've actually seen that made it harder to judge the actual position of the rider in daylight. A bunch of people jumped on that to say lights that bright don't exist, then some guy brags about his 3000 lumen flashing light.

Point I was making about why that demonstration wouldn't work is because it is based on the assumption that people are going to be convinced by a completely unrealistic demonstration when they've almost certainly seen DRLs on the road while they're driving and seen that they really don't make any dramatic difference.
