I was less than impressed with their response to my request as to whether
they were excluding people with cognitive disability. They stated that they
weren't, but were unable to provide any indication as to how many were being

As we've more or less agreed that the spectrum includes 5-30% of the
population, this may skew the results somewhat, and quite possibly towards
text.



You never know they might actually be including some....
