And, let me emphasize once more, I have no sight whatsoever. Touch
sensitive devices can be made more accessible, is my point. People act
as if the very fact something is touch sensitive makes it inherently
unuseable by the blind, i.e. click wheels. Your arguments can be applied
to any electronic device that does not speak out of the box. It's all
the same things people said about Windows. A GUI was never going to be
usable by the blind, people said. And so they clung to DOS. And look
where we are now?

True, but it is congruous. Which is to say that at the very least, they
aren't necessarily accessible either, nor are they for the most part. Few
can be made fully accessible. And most issues of accessibility can be
mitigated through partial sight.
