Your take is well reasoned and kind, but there is a picture of the stage in the article. It's roughly 2 ft high. There are two very short steps to mount it.

I cant think of a single ramp that would be available as a "ramp" that would not work in this circumstance. A standard 5x5 ft sheet of plywood would have been more than enough to have a very gentle grade to this particular stage.

Haha, true. Guess I should have at least clicked the link!

Simply can't understand why they wouldn't use the ramp they apparently had available then
