Blaze orange also does not require the pointing of a loaded gun at an unidentified target before it is identified as another hunter.
I don't think they are pitching this as something you purposefully point at someone to see if they are human or deer.

I understand that this system is supposed to alert you that you are pointing your gun at a person, precisely because the you have already mistaken them for a deer.

Some clearly think this is not a useful thing to have, but I can't see why it does any actual harm.

It may be adopted as an additional safety measure that one group of fellow hunters decide to include to further reduce the chances of an accident.
