I automatically know that if he was facing extensive brain surgery, Nassim would choose the tall, chisel-jawed surgeon, not the Urkel-looking guy with a noticeable speech impediment.

A tall person would likely have to lean over more, and on average, will tend to have bigger hands. A small, geeky-looking person, on the other hand, is likely to have smaller hands.

Why we wouldn't be using a robot for such a delicate surgery, I have no clue. Personally speaking, though, if I get brain cancer, I will not optimize for a tall surgeon.
