Re: 2.5.1 Multipath gestures query

Neither of those is a failure for the following reasons:

1. The Success Criterion applies to gestures in the author-provided content, not gestures defined by the operating system, user agent, or assistive technology.

2. Pickers do not require a path based gesture. Only the start and end points matter, not any intermediate points.

Also, that page does not state that using left and right swipe gestures or z gestures are regarded as a failure. Did you read that somewhere else?
