This document discusses how to incorporate accessibility into projects without others noticing by referencing various "laws" about software development and complexity. It suggests that accessibility can be added in small, incremental ways to avoid making a project even later than it already is. The document concludes by thanking the reader and noting that no copyrights were harmed by the images used.
