Perhaps two people using the same tool will never use it in exactly the same way, and perhaps two people, no matter how similar in their raw capability will never use the exact same combination of tools and techniques. But to go from "no two people are exactly the same" to "No one else could possibly find this tool I use daily useful" seems rather absurd both logically and empirically, especially when it could be argued humanity's biggest advantage as a species is our ability to make tools and then teach others how to use them and the refinement of both tool and technique over time. Sure, a master craftsman could create a new tool custom made to his specifications that, in his opinion, is superior to all other tools for the purpose he made it for. He could then keep the tool to himself, thinking no one else could possibly find it as useful as he does or he could share it with others in hopes someone else will find it at least somewhat useful. By sharing his work, somoeone might even find a use or refinement the inventor missed entirely. Personally, even if it's a tool I find useless, I'd generally prefer the world where an inventor chose to share their invention over one they decided to keep it to themselves, for the more tools we have available, the better the chances any one person will find a tool or set of tools that is useful to their needs. Besides, it's nice being able to pull a ready made tool, even one not optimized for my purpose, off the metaphorical shelf instead of having to make every tool I use from scratch, and I'm sure there are plenty of able-bodied individuals who would be lost if they ever had need to make even something as simple as a knife themselves, never mind something as complex as a computer. And at the end of the day, WCAG is just that, another tool in the tool box that has accumulated over millenia of human ingenuity. Perhaps one that could go a long way towards making other tools easier to use for a greater number of people, perhaps one that will make it easier for other tools to work together, but to speak of it as a silver bullet in nearly the same breath as the claim that any other tool could never be as useful to another as it is to the person speaking about its usefulness boggles at least my mind. Now, maybe I'm misreading your words and you aren't claiming what I think your claiming. After all, human languages are just another class of tool in wich humans have developed many different variants, and even for people who grew up learning the same language, it can be hard for two people to fully understand each other's thought processes, perhaps even impossible. That said, I intend to continue doing my part to help others find tools that meet their needs or learn new techniques that make the tools they already use more useful. I realize any advice I can offer might prove useless as what worked for me in a specific situation might not work for another in a similar situation, and I'll probably occasionally make a fool of myself or accidentally offend someone, but if I can help even one person, it will have been worth the effort, and I would rather try to help another and fail than to knowingly leave someone groping in the dark, be it literal or figurative, especially if I know something that sounds like it might be helpful, and likewise, when I ask for help, I try not to discourage those who gave me less than useful advice from trying to help other in the future. After all, helping each other is arguably the main purpose of this mailing list and others like it. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
