Someone's been listening to the NFB. Though that may be true in many cases, it's also untrue in many as well. It does make a good talking point or polemic, however, until it's used to block accessibility for blind folks. I get away with a lot of things in the kitchen or on my computer that I wouldn't recommend for most other blind folks because of my background as a restaurant manager and multiple computer related jobs. But those skills were developed using sight and then translated, and I've tried to teach them to congenitally blind folks with little success.
