@foone and you see this connection a lot in practice -- accessibility hooks are quite useful for adversarial automation, and adversarial automation techniques can be used to build accessibility tools too

@foone great thread. i think it's worth mentioning the connection to accessibility tools and APIs as well. often people are put into the same position as a screen scraper when faced with software whose "API 0" is particularly restrictive (e.g. requires acting like an abled user in a particular way, like having to interact with things via moving a mouse and clicking, rather than like a human in general who may want to or have to interact with the software via different modalities)
