Bob,
That's an overstatement to say the least. It may make for a bit of comedy,
but if taken seriously it would mean that I, and Roger, and many others,
should be blind already... <g>
Working at far higher luminance values than 80 cd/m2 is fine for most
practical imaging purposes -- really! I've done it myself for a long time
now. Besides being recommended by standard bodies, a higher luminance works
very well for demanding color work too (which I have done and still do), as
long as one keeps in mind a few precautions -- among the most important of
which are: do not face a bright window, and do not have one behind you
either; avoid reflections and direct sunlight falling on the screen; give
your eyes time to adapt when moving from one place to another, and also take
breaks for your eyes to rest at more or less regular intervals.

Now now, let's not be so dismissive, not even in jest. Your way works for
you, but it's neither fair nor accurate to say or imply that other ways are
just for the birds.
