Yes, your vast experience far exceeds the folks who have been writing about this stuff since polarizing lenses first appeared. What you mean to say is that in spite of all the safety related data that is available, and in spite of FAA written guidance on the matter... you, on your own, have decided that it doesn't apply to you, and that you will continue to do things as you see fit.
Think back to your instructing days... there is a name for that type of behavior.

A pair of non polarizing lenses will do the same thing... and you'll still look cool....

That is a very scary statement. Have you considered signing yourself in for more sim training?
