The problem is that your rant seems to infer that the shades should be down all the time because a glare issue might happen for some amount of time during the flight on some screens. @:-)
My "rant"? Interesting description.

But, yes, since the glare will move around and interfere with different people at different times then rather than 2 dozen people taking turns asking you politely to lower the shade it makes far more sense to simply be courteous and keep the shade down.

How is that for a "rant"?
