That's irrelevant.
If you challenge someone with ALS to a race and win have you done anything noteworthy? Or delivered a sockdolager of any kind? Even if they "want to be treated the same way"?
I'm no fan of Heston's views, but an intelligent, articulate, healthy man such as Moore making the centrepiece and denouement of his documentary a "debate" with a man suffering from an intellectually crippling neurodegenerative disease, then walking away all smug as if he's somehow proved a point is somewhat disingenuous.
