IMNAL, but opinions are not designed to protect you from losing an infringement case. They do, however, usually help for showing that there was not willful infringement. (Willful infringement gets you the 3x damage multiplier.)
Oh, I think it can still be considered a weakness; just not one that we should fault people for having. There are a lot of things that "can be induced" that we would probably consider a weakness, such as asthma and poor eyesight. Just because it is a medical condition that cannot be controlled does not mean that society cannot regard it as a weakness.
That isn't that uncommon. It isn't that I have a dependicy on a calculator, but when I am trying to slove the equations on my test about transistors the last thing I want to do is have to do hand calcs. Using the calc gives me the confidence to believe my calcs are right and move on to the next problem and actually finish the test.
Eventually, calculations are the last thing you worry about. A classmate and myself were studying for a final once and one of the calculations was 1.7 / 2 now I don't know my but the answer that popped out of my head was.8 and the answer that popped out if his was.9 we both looked at each other right away and realized the answer was neither, but we the hell do I wan't to figure that out on a test when I am trying to worry about converting a switched ciruit to the Laplace Domain, if capicatence is 1/(c*s) or just c*s, ohh yeah and now I have to get the equation for current back into the time domain. 1.7 / 2 is the last thing I need to think about. Give me my TI-92 plus. And yes, I hate RPN, I like my TI where I can type the whole damn thing on one line. I like that, it's easy and damn it I am not going to change even if that means I can't be the next ubergeek!

My attention span is longer than a week, I can focus on things for as long as... ummm, new counter-strike update, what was I saying?
