I did another experiment where I went across a wide range of mm_per_unit scale.
At low values, everything is blue, then with medium values, only the fingertips
& ears are blue.  With higher still, the vertices-- eventually the edges!-- turn
"extra bright". You can already see it here in my image, in the center of the
pectoral muscles.  This image actually has worst of both worlds-- blue ears and
shiny vertices.

What would a "rougher value" be? This is frankly scary to someone who was
turning his nose at all photorealism not long ago.  :)

Fair enough suggestion, but it's the case that the triangle EDGES also start to
show up as well with higher mm's.

I would also use this platform to repeat my request for the best material for
human skin that could be "donated" to the makehuman project, SSS or no.
