I dunno, *is* there a difference? It sounds to me as though this  
hypothetical someone doesn't have much self-respect or pride. Of  
course, then the question becomes: is this lack of self-respect or  
ride (or laziness) due to blindness or something else, and is the  
blindness a contributing factor? Would this person be a con artist in  
the same way were he sighted? (Well, OK, probably he would.)  
Interesting question, though. Certainly one not easily answered.
