I contemplated other phrasings, but I've never been that embarassed by difficulties I have coordinateing hand motions with cursor motions in the context of sometimes small spaces on a monitor, so I thought people would read it the same way. Ususally lack of coordination can be attributed to dust and lint inside the mouse, so when I say my mouse is uncoordinated it usually means it needs to be cleaned. My mouse never takes offense at being cleaned.Other phrasing seemed so ponderous and not neccessarily any more protective of the outside chance a person might feel put down by a recognition of the general difficulty may people have using a particular technology. -- "Views that could be attributed to problems involving coordination of a mouse in the context of a site's graphic use interface"
It seemed far less likely to put anybody down than would calling their laws "hypocricy", "a joke" or "pathetic"
