If we're going to be totally honest, there's no guarantee a blindfolded person isn't going to be putting his hand in his coffee and the stone in his opponent's eye.

The latter is perfectly legal if the opponent is one-eyed and in atari.

Yes, or what if it's the nakade? I think this speaks to the virtues of playing blindfolded.
