5. Yes, of course, I know that. But if I see the LIDAR bump that you showed, then I will avert my eyes.

If I see the bump it does NOT mean I'm staring at it.

Likewise if I see the bump, it does not mean a beam struck my eyes. For one thing I might see at a 90 degree angle. And if it does before I avert my gaze, that is still less than if I don't avert my gaze.

Life is not perfect.
