Contradicted by the entry in Cybertechnology in which someone mentions =
that he 'had his wires pulled and replaced' (*not* a direct quote) so he =
could have a relfex trigger put in.

I don't really have a problem with the concept of removing wired =
reflexes. Nanites can just as easily 'eat' the wires as lay them down. =
It'd probably not be easy for someone to go back to living without the =
wires, (nor would it be cheap to remove them, I'd say the surgery would =
cost as much as the original installation surgery, but if someone wants =
to go down that road, be my guest).

Basically, my view on it is that the cost is prohibitive, so that's why =
