Maybe overcautious? Not all epileptics are vulnerable to flashing lights but because some are, they have to warn everyone. It's like the labels supermarkets stick on everything "may contain nuts"?
Caution rules. I've just started on some new meds after a fit I had over a year ago. The list of possible side effects runs to two pages under three headings; "very common (over 10 percent)", "common; (between 1 and 10 percent)" and "rare (under 1 percent). They could make me aggressive, depressive, suicidal, cause stomach cramps and diarrhea and cause memory loss. Put that lot together and it sounds like a fun afternoon........ That assumes I don't blow myself up pulling the gas fire apart to try to find if there's a bird's trapped behind it.
