This special value that people place on touching and seeing is completely arbitrary. Your condescending attitude on this doesn't help you make your case in any way.

I was under the impression that it was widely accepted that babies who are not held / loved / touched enough can suffer developmental issue, or even die.

I don’t believe it can be argued in good faith that touch and sight are valued due to completely arbitrary reasons.

Comparing infants in the early stages of development to mature, adult humans is disingenuous.
