Hi Charles, Well, it's my opinion that this *may* be the case (80% of learning is visual), but it doesn't *have* to be the case. something like saying 80% of the miles you travel are in a private car; however, if you don't own a private car, then the miles you travel will be on a bus, or walking, or some other way of getting there, but you'll still get there. you'll do what you have to, in order to get there.

If this is really so, how is it these people on Tabi that's been blind since childhood, so amazingly, smart? Was there a study covering this? Charles
