 I think there is some ambiguity between baseline WCAG conformance and good
usability/ best practices ... I know this sounds terrible, but some
organizations want to just technically pass WCAG and don't care about
accessibility... 

Although I almost always include people with disabilities in my
evaluations, and they often identify things that can be improved on a web
site's accessibility/usability, I rarely experience users identifying
strict WCAG failures that were not found in the "expert review". I think
this sentence could be improved to correct the ambiguity.

"Involving people with disabilities and people with aging-related
impairments helps identify additional accessibility barriers that are not
easily discovered by the evaluators alone."

Let's leave evaluators out of this sentence... How about...

"Involving people with disabilities and people with aging-related
impairments helps provide a clearer  picture of how the site actually works
for people with disabilities. This can result in a more rounded and
thorough overall evaluation, and therefore better overall usability and
accessibility for the site."
