which is a proof that online automated checkers are just not a valid
test for accessibility but can only be considered an aid for human
testing. As a human I consider your heading structure alright, for
example, and I guess a blind user using the heading navigation option
would agree.

No point discussing the value of automated testing as the only means
of testing _again_.
