According to the original article (in June), Ms Dean wasn't
"embarassed" by her prosthesis.  She didn't choose to wear a cardigan,
she was _instructed_ to wear the sweater.  Here's a link to the
original post I saw on Disaboom:

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
