It's not necessarily just a single input modality these days. https://css-tricks.com/interaction-media-features-and-their-potential-for-incorrect-assumptions/ For avoidance of doubt though, I'd be in favour on actually dropping this SC, which has already seen considerable pushback, rather than picking more semi-random or arbitrary values (divide by two, then add 4 pixels) - and while it's valuable to gather more research, I recall that we went through that exercise the first time around for 2.1, with the various pieces of research not holding up to closer scrutiny/being very limited in in scope and not directly applicable at web scale / different screen resolution / different physical size of the displays. Even for 2.1, we did seem to come back to the fact that users can already zoom/enlarge content to better suit both reading and operating it (and yes, with distinctions on how the zooming/enlarging works on different platforms - with potential reflowing/adapting on desktop/laptop OS browsers, and non-reflow zooming on mobile/tablet OS browsers). I seem to remember at the time it was decided to move ahead with the 44x44 size because even though users *could* zoom, it was more usable/nice to have not to force them to, and since it was AAA it seemed appropriate. But that rationale does become harder to justify when making it a AA requirement. P -- Patrick H.
