Why a reading light IS NECESSARY!
Try flying cross country at night with the lights on when everyone else is trying to sleep!
Back seat of a car at night on a long road trip.
When the wife is trying to sleep but can't because the lights are on.
(I could list more but you get the idea!)

P.S. Even perfect contrast can't be seen in the dark!
