"See and Avoid" procedures are one of the "special emphasis areas" in
flight instruction.

Seeing and avoiding applies to hazards, not threats. The assumption is that
other aircraft will not actively attempt to endanger your flight (a threat).

Wrong again.

The assumption is that you have no guarantee what any other aircraft is
doing or is about to do and ALL other aircraft are a potential threat.

It doesn't matter if the other pilot is aware of your presence or not
or intends to do whatever they do that makes them a threat, the results
are the same.

In real life you can have a hazy sky suddenly light up and spell
"GOODYEAR" directly in front of you.

Is that in any of your simulators?
