I had started this post in May this year and it had remained in a draft state ever since. The topic I intended to cover has been covered in the post I made in reply to Ritwik today, so there is no reason to complete this one. But I liked the start I had made. Here it is, broken links, outdated information and all.
The saying goes that ”In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king”. To contest the saying, H G Wells wrote a short story titled “The Country of the Blind“. It describes the travails of a sighted man who stumbles into a valley of blind men and tries to use the advantage his eyes give him. He fails because the country has been organized in such a way that his eyes give him no advantage at all.
