There is a lot to be said for two strobes - top and bottom - and

That doesn't help in situations where you are high and overtaking the other

Of course, a few clearing turns would help that situation, immensely.

Yep, that is a neat gadget to be sure, but you never will get 100%
protection with a fool-proof gadget.

They keep on making dumber fools to defeat it! g
