Which is BS, IMO, because don’t laser designators operate outside the visible spectrum? If so, there’d be no “laser dot” for anyone on the ground to see anyway.

Yep, target designators are outside the visible range, for the purpose of avoiding giving the enemy advance warning. After all, if the target saw a big red dot on his back, would he just stay in place until the missile arrived?
