You've just knocked out the "slightly visually impaired" masses of
users, instead of the "drastically visually impaired" that makes
CAPTCHA problematic in the first place...

:-)

!!!The remainder is NOT directed to any one specific person!!!

Perhaps we should consider a moratorium on posts about CAPTCHA, or
some kind of limitation here...

It's getting old fast...

Perhaps only allow actual implementations and actual cracks of said
implementations to be posted?

Maybe if some folks spent more time hacking and cracking the darn
things, we'd have less uninformed discussion...
