I figure you said that mostly in jest, but just in case...
Intimating to a (presumably) sighted potential employer that sighted
employees are "trash" just might not be the wisest move politically.

indicating that the greater reliability and productivity of blind
employees more than makes up for the minimal cost of adaptive
