Not everyone has the same awareness bubble & sometimes a not dangerous or risky anything could be perceived as dangerous. So it's best to give ample clearance for whatever that unfolds.
1 (not at fault) incident in 20,000 miles seems to suggest using discretion & good judgement when dealing with unpredictable & unaware people is a good strategy.
Wait a minute. You already had two fatal or near fatal incidences going at 20 mph on shared paths with pedestrians (not cars) and you're yelling at other people for their inattentiveness?!
It doesn't look as if your own situational awareness is as good as you think. Other that or you're just trolling.
If you're planning to go 20 mph, stay on the street. Bike lanes would be useless to you anyways.
