My logic on this is very simple-a flashing red light during the day may or may not have a beneficial effect, but it won't do any harm. A white strobe bright enough to be seen in daylight is also going to be bright enough to be disorienting at close rsnge. As a bicyclist, I only care about the cars near me, so I don't strobe, ever.
Drivers coming from the opposite direction might try to overtake a car in front of them and might hit you, there can be a crossing and they might hit you, they may be even willing to park their car on the opposite side... and hit you. How on earth can you be saying there is no danger from cars coming from the opposite direction ?
Besides, what exactly is a non-disprovable assertion and which argument is weak ?
A solid white light in daytime or a slow blink probably can't do harm, so knock yourself out.
