personally I think bike gloves are more helpful.
I'm no expert, but my feeling is that, if you're moving, your attention,
eyes and ears are the best protection you have. You can't rely on "the
other guy" to see you. If you're doing things that rely on "the other guy"
seeing you and reacting "appropriately", you're gonna end up a hood
ornament.
Yes, of course you're right.
So one should always be vigilant.
How does a helmet hinder such vigilance?
It's nice to have the helmet as a final layer of protection if more
"pro-active" prevention isn't enough. Not that helmets are a
guarantee of anything, however they do lessen one's chances of more
serious head injury.

There's some argument to be made that the safer you feel, the more risks
you take. Bike helmets make you feel safer.
