Nick, it's possible to skip that level altogether. I do that all the time as well since I'm no good at it. However, other blind people have done it successfuly and presumably enjoyed the experience. James introduced a number of pioneering concepts in Monky Business. Even if I were harsh enough to count the ledges level an error in judgement, that's still nine excellent levels plus a bonus level. However, there's a saying that one man's meat is another man's poison. Just because you and I didn't like the ledges level doesn't mean that nobody else did. Are you going to go after Josh for taking ownership of the game and not replacing that level with something completely different? Also, why throw this at James now? He's already under extreme pressure to get Monty finished for us and at least get the demo out as soon as possible. He just doesn't need this right now and a lot of us would resent the time James takes reading that rather than working on Monty. Getting the playable demo and the full game out needs to be where he focusses his attention right now. He's presumeably pulling out all the stops trying to get that done.
