I was referring to the limits for learning to do without visual information Anthony brought up. An improvement of 4 from -10 is the best a blind person can hope for. If you were not actually blind, but trained as if you were until you could fight at -6 in total darkness, then you might be able to fight at -5 or -4 or better in otherwise -9 darkness, since you have a chance to "peek" as it were.
