I don't understand your statement exactly. With the thermal overlay you can turn it off, or just turn it down so that it is not interfering with the intensified image. If you are moseying along and just so happen to see a thermal signature of a person you would not otherwise have seen, well, it has served exactly the purpose it was designed for.
There are obvious advantages to each technology(thermal / night vision) over the other but a COTI type system is meant to augment and compliment your night vision. It's not meant to replace the other technology. The only real draw back to these units are their adding of weight to your set up, that it is yet another thing constantly eating up your batteries, and their fairly high cost.
