And honestly, having Miller turn out to be an amputee is getting a bit much: His artwork does not show an amputee in MGS. Besides, going by what Rising said, it was impossible even after the Patriots were destroyed to have convincing artificial skin, so if its impossible afterwards, it certainly would be impossible beforehand when the Patriots are preventing it from being leaked. Having Big Boss act as an amputee is also getting a bit much, especially seeing how in MG2, his arms were clearly organic, not cybernetic/prosthetic (again, thanks to Rising, convincing prosthetic skin is downright impossible). The artwork in Metal Gear Solid is of Liquid being disguised as him. Though there could be an explanation alternative to cybernetics... like cloning or... something else, I don't know Actually, its not: The cutscene where he revealed himself and the cutscene where he and Snake encounter each other were in far too short of an interval to even allow it as they are wearing completely different outfits. To be fair, all Liquid would need to do is take his shirt off.

He'd also need to change his pants as well, and his boots. Don't forget, Liquid wore khaki pants, Miller wore green pants. And considering the unveiling part of the Codec only had him removing his shades and untying his hair, if he were to remove his shirt, it would have been obvious if he did, as its a tank top, meaning he'd have to remove it upwards instead of simply unbuttoning it and dropping it.
