In an ideal world you'd be correct, but this is being used in different 
instances to give a description of wide variations in obstacles or 
conveniences for those who aren't fully abled. For instance one I saw 
describe how the entrance door only opened outwards, was very stiff with 
the handle high up. All very inconvenient for those in wheelchairs.
