Many years ago, when this "blinding concept" was first discussed, I was teaching an instructor development course for some LE instructors, and we tested the concept. We turned off the lights on the indoor range, put a 6P through the head of the target and aimed it at the shooter. Then, the shooter, at 5 yards was to draw and fire at the center of the target. Did the flashlight blind him, so he could not get his hits? Nope. Of course, these were good shooters, and they just point shot the target.
