I can't argue with 'conflict' except to note that conflict has negative connotations, which in the case of using a WOL the interaction is not negative - its a cooperative interaction.
I do however disagree as to harrassment. By far the least harrassment I get is using WOLs. I get significantly more when using roads that are striped with bike lanes. Eliminate the BL stripe for 200' or so at all intersection approaches and keep the BL 6' wide and swept and I'd say they are about equal.
