Why bring this up when I was talking about a specific hypothetical... This is typical of threads on this forum in that people can't be bothered with dealing with a specific point but have to drag in other things to change the discussion to suit themselves...
And deaf people who dance rely on the underlying beat/bass to stay with the music... not all music has this so I guess we should start adding bass to chamber music and violin concertos... not everything is available to everyone, this is life, it's not ideal but it is reality and surely it would be equally unfair to limit all works to things that can only be consumed by everyone?

So what you're saying is that since your point is that disabled people can't enjoy something the way your abled self can then they aren't worth the trouble and to screw them?
I'm sure my blind cousin with her painting collection - and the paintings she does herself - would be gratified to know that you think she doesn't deserve to see the Mona Lisa. And all the deaf people who like music need to stop and get over themselves, huh?
