I've grown up in the sticks, so bright stars are always accessible to me, except for the 1/2 of the time that clouds are in the way.

It appears that illumination engineers are oblivious to the fact that the human eye is a dynamic organ,which can transition from photopic vision to scotopic vision,and a 30-minute chemical reaction takes place within the retina.
Coming from fully dark-adapted night vision upon a 'glare bomb',or visa versa, can actually create danger to a motorist.
The engineers also don't seem to appreciate that some of the new headlights,which are skewed to the blue end of the spectrum can destroy an onlookers vision,while being great for those behind the wheel of the offending vehicle.Morons! Pedants.
Perhaps the DOT accepts only job applications from those who graduate bottom of the class.
