Just my opinion.
@Littlegirl good point that. A lot of blind people if they lose their vision early in life (like myself) do develop a good sense of direction and orientation. I can also usually remember my way if someone shows it to me once. all this happens subconciously after a while.
I wonder how many sighted passengers actually check out where their nearest exit is once they are seated. I always make it a point to ask the cabin crew if they don't tell me themselves.
