For non-native speakers or possibly people with disablities it should be worded differently. At least I had to do a triple-take at that
Scrolling through the thread, I think that enough native speakers with no disabilities have found the wording confusing, to the point where there's no need to appeal to non-natives and those with disabilities to prove it is just confusing word choice.
As a non-native (who also misunderstood the sentence at first), I wouldn't want people to adapt or simplify their language for my sake.
"As a non-native (who also misunderstood the sentence at first), I wouldn't want people to adapt or simplify their language for my sake." That is very true for me too
