I said "would appear". I was very careful in my choice of words. I have a
blind friend who can "read" at a phenomenal speed.
It is out of line to be as judgemental as you are of others. What you can do
easily everyone else must do, or be dismissed, and no allowances must be
made. We are not all the same. You have abilities which some others do not
have.
You said "The helpful folks at Debian also produce copious documentation (a
Guide, Release Notes etc).At release time these tend to be up to date and are
much more useful to newcomers" as a reason why aptitude should not be
included. I pointed out that these are not useful to everyone. In fact, to
some of us they are barely useful at all.
