I also have a bright light for unlit paths, I have it on my helmet, if I need to shield oncoming users from it I simply tilt my head a few degrees to direct it away from them.I have a bright light for unlit paths and roads but if anyone comes towards me, I turn it down or put my hand over it.
and dont forget about the super bright rear lights

Yes it is so simple, the Germans seem to have mastered it hence why so many of their lights receive praise and are used over here, particularly it seems by Audaxers who also use their hub dynamos. The bike lighting manufacturers are missing an opportunity here, the first one to produce an affordable front light that has a dipped beam and a main beam as per a vehicle will make a fortune. The technology has existed for years, unfortunately at present until the law changes 'boys and their toys" and squillions of lumens [which is an inaccurate measurement for a road light anyway] will continue.... it is so simple
If a cyclist is blindingly visible than you can't claim that you didn't see them.
Reduce the lighting to the quality of a Glow worm and you have a reasonable argument when you fail to look and knock the cyclist off

This is over a year old now so lights are brighter still:

I am sure some cyclists do use their bright lights to annoy drivers.
Because perceived changes in light intensity scale (roughly) as the log of actual intensity.I'm wondering why they've chosen a logarithmic scale on their chart?
Yes, they do and I recall, rather freqently, commnents on here about the individuals pointing their lights in drivers rear view mirrors of they had done something that was "disagreeable".
I would assume for display purposes, without which the graph would be enormous with values from about 10 to 10,000.I'm wondering why they've chosen a logarithmic scale on their chart?
