I think that is much of the problem - we've very quickly gone from lights being an unhappy compromise between brightness and runtime, to being able to buy lights that are at least as annoying, if not quite as blinding, as undipped car lights that will run for half the night. I think many people simply don't realise what it's like to be on the receiving end.

I dip my main light riding on the road and tend to turn my helmet light off.
Completely agree, but if someone in a car insists on trying to blind me, then they get it back at them!
