And again, most people wouldnt know the different forms of dwarfisim if 
you whapped them upside the head with each kind of them - all they would 
know *even if you could magically port Miles here in person to play 
himself* that he is a dwarf.

Actually, that is *probably* why it used to be so important to Miles to 
make it absolutely clear that he is *not* a dwarf, his was soltoxin 
poisoning in the womb ... because the average prole would be thinking 
that the ma missed her stroke on that d*mned dwarf ...
