As far as I can tell the logic goes something like this: >!Having deduced that Belasco was motivated by ego, Fischer intuits that he might be compensating for something. Florence's phrase "terminations and extremities" implies "cutting off limbs", and "if thy right eye offend thee" adds the idea of despising a body part so much that you get rid of it... Yeah, it's a stretch.!<

bummer haha. >!That whole clue and his leg situation seems kinda irrelevant: why Florence felt the need to have Fischer learn his ego drove him to remove his legs. The big reveal was that it was Belasco himself haunting the place and we don't even get to understand his motivation other than that he's depraved(?). We just learn that he has a big ego...?!<
