Modern style headlights
The only thing that bugs me is how wrong you are in relation to how bright these are
How bright you feel they are has nothing to do with how effectively they do the complicated job a headlamp needs to do. We humans (all of us, no matter how much we do or don't know about headlamps or carburetors or strawberry farming) are lousy judges of how well we can see. Our subjective impression (feeling) of how well we can see is usually far out of line with how well or poorly we can actually, measurably see. Get that? How well we see and how well we think we see are two different things. How safe we are on the road at night is directly related to how well we can
actually, really, objectively, measurably see, and is
inversely related to how well we think/feel we can see (because when we feel we can see better than we actually can, we over-drive our headlamp beam reach by a greater margin...without any conscious thought about it).
More than you do, about this subject -- yes, I do. Sorry that bugs you. I'm sure there's stuff you know more about than I do; that doesn't bug me. Do you talk back to your doctor and tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about? How 'bout your lawyer, do you tell him his facts aren't real because they don't match your guesses? How 'bout any contractors you might have hired; do you follow them around telling them how to do their jobs because even though you know little enough about it that you had to hire someone instead of doing it yourself, you still know better than they do? I bet you probably don't do any of those things. This is no different.
Yeah, they really are. If you want to continue throwing a tantrum because facts get in the way of your fantasy, that's your choice. Facts are facts, even if you don't happen to know them. Same goes for laws and regulations; they don't stop existing or say what you want 'em to say or mean what you want 'em to mean just because you don't happen to know what they actually say and mean.
The grownup thing, when you happen to encounter someone who knows more than you about something, is to take the opportunity to learn. That's what I try to do. I don't always succeed, because my mouth is a couple sizes too big, but I try.
I don't judge people without first meeting them
It's difficult for me not to negatively judge your behaviour in this thread, since that's all I have to go on.
And I am not a 2nd class anything..
Fine. Who said you are?
