But it is OK to cut out the completely blind? The fact these systems are
unfair to people who differ sufficiently from the norm undermines my point
that prejudice against against the presence of agents in our systems is
unethical - as long as agents are good citizens they are as welcome into a
system I design as anybody else.

And if you really want to cut out only agents, I think you should base the
problems on forms of reasoning, not perception, that agents are not
capable of. Translation seems to be such a problem - and it has the added
benefit of cutting all the ignorant uni-lingual people...
