I'll meet you half way on this because now I'm invested. No luck finding anything other than "It's bad" from non-scientific studies, but I found a paper quantifying sensor damage from lasers. If you can find something comparing constant solar exposure and short-term laser exposures, maybe we can figure this thing out ourselves.
