I'm surprised and very thankful indeed that you seem to take me seriously [and hope I use this phrase correctly - sounds like kind of a false friend to me, but it's from a dictionary...]. That encourages me to explain a little bit more of it:
As I understand it, this extreme difficulty handling 'cognitive dissonance' is part of one trait of ASD, autism spectrum disorder; in my case the version formerly known as Asperger. Better known aspects of this trait go under headings like rigid thinking, black-and-white thinking and, at least in part, the cliché that autists rely on rituals. On the one hand, it's really annoying everyone, not least me. On the other hand, that sensitivity is one reason why Aspies are favored software testers; but then again, some of us are kind of stuck in that testing mode.

Maybe this is a telling example. Every late summer the marketeers start their annual barking: 'Customers love Band in a Box [this year plus 1]' - how's that? Existing customers for something that doesn't yet exist? Most of you say it's just PR, or think of it as self-mockery or something like that, I suppose. I have the impulse to toss a shoe at my screeen when that mail hits my inbox, or rather to bang my head against the wall. So if you want to do something for the disabled, you know where to start wink [hope this traditional smiley is apropriate here]
