Right, because nothing else we already use has any chance of causing permanent damage. Nothing at all.

Leave your bubble, I’m talking about relative probability, I’m not saying that it’s “impossible.” We accept far greater risks in our daily life than this.

I know it is new years but you sound like an angry drunk. I know there are lots of risks in life I have taken many of them. I used to work at a Bungy jump and jumped hundreds of times. I ride a motorcycle at high speeds. I was simply commenting to the fact that your original comment did not respond correctly to the ops comment. He said a bug in the system as in a computer error bug and you went off and said there is not bug that big that would be mistaken, he wasn't talking about an insect but a computer error. Then you said that is not how reflections work, and again not true it could reflect into your eye not simply because he was looking at it but it would also take a certain angle but op was making a general statement about possible dangers. You are very defensive about this just chill out and accept that we are just discussing some of the possible dangers of such a system. We are, after all, talking about lasers and it would be totally irresponsible if such a system was built and all the modes of failure not explored. Not likely to happen does not mean you do not discuss it. Have a happy new years.
