title: One principle and three fallacies of disability studies.
abstract: A question between John Harris and I is the degree to which lessons may be learned, and insights gained, from a life distinguished by physical differences. He argues it as the "aborting Beethoven fallacy", I insist on the evidence that what we learn from physical differences may be critical and life enhancing.
