I had a flippant stupid reply. So they got a stupid flippant response.
Typically when you are reversing and there is likely to be something sat behind your vehicle (like a child or a pet). You are parked. You can you know look before you get in the car.
If you have parking sensors it will alert you to something walking behind you anyway.
The point being made is there are way to deal with this without the need for a rear camera.

The point being made is that there are ways of mitigating the risk. That for some reason you are other people don't believe can be done at all. This is patently false.
Also just because there is a camera and a screen doesn't mean people will look!
Of course, ideally people see the child and do not hit it. When atypical incidents happen, we call them accidents, and when they start happening at rates we find unacceptable we often engineer solutions to make those accidents less likely.
This is why we have seat belts instead of telling people "you idiot you should have used the brakes!"
Don't patronise me. You've done it twice now. I find it extremely irritating.
The point being made is that many of these things can be mitigated by better driver training or driver aids which are much simpler & cheaper (I am likely to fit parking sensors in my older cars, kits are cheap).
