Last thing I’d want is to be in the middle of something with my hands full and the display bugs out, blocking the one eye, making me screw something up.

Maybe don't cause your own problems.

I mean, that was sorta the point of the comment...

I don't like them and therefore, I won't be using them, ever. I'd get a less obstructing headset instead. And, I wouldn't get a headset just to play around with it, I'd actually want to use it and try to get to it help me doing things.
