Right. It's odd to think a passenger needing assistance to the plane would NOT need assistance off the plane. Is there a safety difference in travel direction for the passenger? The passenger should remain seated until others deplane for his/her safety (to avoid getting hit by luggage, run over by other passengers, etc).
This discussion is a flashback to this
thread.
