What is so hard to understand about "don't look directly at the sun"? We trust these people to do it every other day without paperwork.

What's so hard to understand about "vaccines prevent disease"? And eclipses don't happen every day. People are curious and will do stupid things.

That's got nothing to do with the point I was making about the people in question (ie: professional educators) being sufficiently qualified to understand not to look directly at the sun without "reading paperwork". Besides which that is basically their whole fucking job; "reading paperwork" about things and then presenting the information to children in a way they can understand.
