Hypothetically, if a colleague has repeatedly demonstrated the utter lack of reading comprehension skills (like pulling the same door labelled "push" for the hundredth time), what job could one suggest for them where this "disability" wouldn't be detrimental?

Fair point. But, medically and developmentally speaking there are people with a lower mental capacity that literally can't read. The entire adult care industry exists for a reason. Those people need something to do so they don't simply waste away.
