Rule n° 181 - The size of the clickable elements is sufficient.

Touchscreens have brought their share of difficulties that need to be taken into account. Not the least of which is the fact that you can interact with your fingers without difficulty. It so happens that international standards for the accessibility of web content for people with disabilities even specify a numerical value for the minimum size of clickable elements. As in the case of contrasts, this provides us with a rule based on the existence of this numerical value.
