Bullshit, fucktard. I don't give a rat's ass about supposed vision enhancements there's absolutely no proof of. My objection and point has consistently been about the handicapped nature of the helmet for normal vision.
Visual enhancements are great, and potentially quite useful (if they exist). Severely handicapping normal vision is
not useful.
And you're a fucking idiot who seems to think driving a high speed vehicle with a pair of binoculars or telescopes strapped to your eyes is a great eye, because hey, it's not restricting one's vision to exactly the definition I submitted, right?
No, your definition was less a definition then you displaying how dishonest you are and committing 2 logical fallacies in one swoop. Nice job in reminding us all why you are a twit though.
Too bad you can't actually point out where I've been dishonest, and have to appeal to vague accusations of my doing so. Here's a thought: spell out exactly where I've been dishonest. I'll even help by restating my position: the helmet is a shit design because it severely hinders normal vision, and appealing to 'possible' technological enhancements does not refute this point.
By all means, quote me where I've made any other claim or point.
My point has consistently and repeatedly been that normal vision would be severely handicapped by the helmet design, and appeals to
possible vision enhancement technology in play doesn't change that fact.
And by the way, as for driving a vehicle at high speeds while wearing gear strapped to your eyes being a bad idea, funny enough that is SOP for night driving in the army. NVGs attach to the helmet and get dropped so the driver can see the terrain. Whoops.
Holy fuck, thanks for demostrating even more stupidity on your part. NVG's are there for the purpose of enhancing vision because normal visual acuity is shit
in the dark. That's not the case in broad daylight (you know, where our cop was), or on well lit streets and highways where stealth is not a concern and large vehicle mounted lights can be used instead of field of view restrictive goggles.
Note NVGs, not in use due to it being daylight.
Yeah, funny how they don't obstruct their normal vision by keeping them down, huh? Go figure!

Oh, and
here is a study conducted on the safety of doing exactly what you are claiming no one would ever do.
Will there be any further bits of idiocy from you tonight?
See above. You're just digging yourself into a deeper hole of stupidity and breaking quite an impressive sweat doing it.
The helmet in question is a shit design for normal vision, and no amount of crying about 'possible' technological vision enhancements will change that fact.
It should be incredibly obvious to anyone with half a brain that you never hinder normal visual ability if you can help it, unless normal vision is rendered useless or severely hampered by enviromental conditions anyhow (like darkness).
And since you brought up NVG's, read up on Panoramic Night Vision Goggles, and rack your brain on why the US military would bother to research them if your standard NVG's are just fine and dandy by your reasoning.
