True, but there's no other light source that can conceivably cut anything,
so "laser scalpel" is the only sensible interpretation, even if {'uD} did
just refer to any light source here. I'm not saying {'uD} doesn't mean
"laser". I think, though, that we shouldn't necessarily rule out {'uD} as
possibly being just a light source, in addition to the meaning it carries in
{'uD Haqtaj}.
