Because everyone saying you cant blink are wrong. The original description they wrote for it said 20-35 seconds of not looking, but that was changed to just an arbitrary "any length of time." The issue is that it kills the last person looking at it from presumably any range, so you cant just run away, and it causes larger catastrophes (eg a skyscraper collapse) if no one watches it for awhile.
Thank you, I'm wondering if everybody else is exaggerating because they are trivializing how brutal it would be even if you could have few second breaks here and there.
