> Designing the most wheel-chair inaccessible building that meets all accessibility codes!

> btw guys this isn't really about accessibility guidelines it's just about, uh, the importance of not relying on those guidelines, or something. totally not me venting about having to follow accessibility guidelines in the first place as many of my professional colleagues are known for doing.

The complaint seems very clear to me as being about this automated test being unreliable as a sole measure of accessibility. If it was about wheelchair accsssibility, it would be like if "you must have a ramp by a door" earned a big "100% wheelchair accessible" sticker after you send your blueprints in to the automated test, and them pointing out the ramp could be on the roof.
