epitome of incomprehensibility

A petition to mark spots that are wheelchair-accessible in Google Maps, and I can only find a long URL for it:
https://www.change.org/petitions/google-maps-help-people-with-mobility-challenges-make-your-maps-accessible?utm_source=action_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=81790&alert_id=eYYOcUqPJa_02tO%2B92BW%2B6NBcIlvsWTbFwfRH8%2BcKWMAzQLwy%2BHz2o%3D
long long long long
or you can just look up "Randy McNeil Google Maps"
...It caught my eye because it's proposing a good thing, rather than protesting a bad thing. Both are needed, although I'm not sure this petition itself can do much; maybe McNeil would have better luck talking directly to Google's leadership, if he can get an audience. As for me, just signing something isn't going to change the world.
No. I take that back. Everything that happens "changes the world." Thus "you can change the world" is meaningless, redundant. But there are degrees of world-changiness! Anyway.
I DO know someone who works for Google - a friend of a friend - though not in a leadership capacity. I could ask him if he knows anything about the map part. It's something I think will happen eventually (marking what places are more disability-accessible on a large mapping service like Google, I mean) but the sooner the better.
