A similar point can be observed whenever accommodations are discussed. Usually it turns out that any kind of design that tries to accommodate the real or perceived special needs of a particular group (except in extreme cases) ends up benefiting the “average” user. I taught ESL in public schools for a couple of years, and the mainstream classroom teachers always cribbed our classroom and PD materials. If you can make something with the same power lighter, smaller and more ergonomic, I will bet any user will thank you (even if not out loud, pride and all that…)
