Yes and the focusing on trivia such as the wearing of high-vis vests at GA airfields actually distracts us from other much more important safety issues, which as pilots we have direct control over.

When I am at work at major airports I have no issue with wearing a high vis vest when I do the walkround as there are all sorts of hazards around but when I am at my average GA airfield I just cannot see the point and, as has been commented previously, the way in which this is enforced by some does little to promote good relations between pilots and airfield managements!
