I too missed the beginning of this discussion, but felt the need to
comment on this statement.

The USDA Forest Service has a term that applies to the marjority of museum
visitors, it is called TAB. Most of us are TABs. TEMPORARILY ABLE
BODIED!!! Many of us have had the need to use crutches or even a stroller
for that matter when traveling with our families. Assistive devices
benefit us ALL.
