A different take, the professor doesn't give a shit one way or another about laser pointers but knows a ridiculous foam finger will get attention and help students remember important stuff.

Google von Restorff effect.

Yeah, and it is absolutely more visible. If I had to take notes during this lecture, I would absolutely appreciate not having to search for the dot every time I looked up.

We do have those academics. It's funny, they're the most paid and don't seem to give a shit about it all, where as those below them seem to be constantly trying to earn more than each other to be seen as better than each other. The top academics and most of the research academics seem to all succeed because they're connected to reality, not the academia schoolyard games.
