"For all I know maybe I have one of my weird reactions to the plastic they use in the synthetics, and I'd have to wait around for somebody to hunt up a different formulation and synthesize me a whole new set of leg bones and replace them all again. I'm not saying I actually thought that was happening, and happily it doesn't seem to be, but competence and effectiveness can sometimes be separated by a wide margin."
