Not so: organic limb replacements are major invasive surgery, which costs
25,000 nuyen. For a simple amputation where no new limb of any kind is
installed, I think I'd charge for minor invasive, since it's not much more
than sawing off the old limb and treating the wound.

AFAIK it's because Tom Dowd got the Greek alphabet mixed up, and thought
delta came after beta...
