However, in my experience most users have no idea how to read the results of a testing tool anyway, and need to spend more time working out what they are being told.

This tool can be used to check HTML accessibility, to look at some usability issues beside compliance through simulations modes, and also allows developers of Flash/Flex content to enhance accessibility of their interfaces through accessibility information (MSAA/IA2) inspection functions.
