Ah but it is a hard hard nosed business factor it keeps you form
getting sued. Particularly as the ADA requirements get extended into
more and more areas of business such as the case with
telecommunications equipment.

Yes, but only because you didn't top post.

That means Steve Jobs has to tell all the other parts of the company
that they must abide by what the Accessibility Evangelist says and no
product may be release but that the office of the Accessibility
Evangelist has not had a look at it first to insure it is accessible
to the various disabled groups.
I agree this observation but it illustrates why the idea is a
non-starter. I cannot image any single "first principle" that has
this level of control over the Apple product line. Except maybe that
Jobs himself must like it. That particular power of veto cannot be
delegated. If there are factors that come close to this kind of
authority, you be sure they are hard nosed business factors driven by
economics, not philosophy.
