No ARIA is better than bad ARIA (www.youtube.com)

Karl Groves highlights why no ARIA is better than bad ARIA in this short YouTube Video. When using HTML elements like input type="radio" the behavior for the radio button is already defined. However, those behaviors are not conveyed when using span role "radio" This means you need to define the behavior of the element to ensure it is accessible. Adding in some ARIA to convey the role is not enough. This is why you should use HTML elements whenever possible. #accessibility
