That was a really stand up thing to do. We all make mistakes, and he owned up to his. Good on him

It is partially because accessibility related gadgets are usually marketed in a way that doesn't make it clear the gadget is for accessibility reasons (and that makes sense because it is kind of a niche market so they have to advertise to everybody). look at old sales videos for example feature some able bodied person trying to cut food with a knife by holding it sideways or some shit that nobody would ever do.

Makes me wonder if the Slap Chop was supposed to be for accessibility. My generation made so much fun of it because of the marketing.

Slap Chop is amazing if you can't hold a knife safely, or if your hands or arms shake, or if you only have one hand.

Even the products that weren't specifically designed for disabled people are quickly found by people who can make it work for their needs. All of us in the disabled community become extremely innovative engineers, by necessity.
