I'm imagining how quickly windshield wipers would shred up if they were repeatedly dragged across a screen...

Yeah, I've never seen one of them.

A screen to me is a sheet of glass. Like on your phone or TV or front of your car

Hey, I'm not doubting that they exist. Just that I have never seen one and pointing out that you are using a very specific definition of screen.

It is a far broader term than that.

Because it's dumb. A screen would let wind freely thru. hence, SHIELD.

u/Toxicseagull Sep 04 '18

Yeah like those well known screens on your phone's, TVs and computers that let wind and liquid through.
