I don't think that matters, isn't the point just that it's more eye-catching than a solid (and much smaller than a car's) light? Any driver should know what a brake light means, I don't think that it's an intentional flash feature is important to know.

I don't think you can have it both ways, either all lights are the same OR one is more important and drivers will all think first "is it this or that light? do I hit the brakes? maybe this means he is stopping slowly so I will risk my rear end for no reason?" before they act. I'm sure it isn't going to backfire
