I think the thing to remember is that potentially a lot of people may attempt to look at the eclipse without a good understanding of what is going on. Yes, during totality it is perfectly safe, but for many people they may not comprehend that that safe period is only 2 minutes or so.
Many who will be interested are not astronomy minded or educated and the precautions need to be slated to them.
I think we as educated amatuers should be doing our utmost to ensure that everyone who wants to can view the eclipse safely.
