Given the acrimonious tone of most of the discussions regarding accessibility and HTML5 almost since the inception of public-html@w3c.org, it *is* fair to say that one side of the table is less than receptive to the advice of the other side of the table, demanding evidence and proof of claims while at the same time failing to deliver the same from their side. When the defacto W3C group encharged with "accessibility" makes an official response, only to have it wholesale dismissed by the editor, it is not hard to see how reaching the conclusion that Matt has reached would be a hard stretch.
