Hah, that is so me! Well, not for lasers, but the dynamics are the same. You point out issues and risks, are ignored and labelled negative. Then when those things cannot be ignored, people come crying to you for help. And when they hear the solutions, aka stop doing what you are doing wrong, they again label you as negative, up to the point of blaming for everything that went wrong.
You are not getting points for preventing fires, you get them for putting them out. Unfortunately, some folks seems to conclude that lighting fire up, just to put them out later, is a good and easy way to earn that "hero" reputation.
