the Times spoils cuteness by talking about it

Cuteness is distinct from beauty, researchers say, emphasizing rounded over sculptured, soft over refined, clumsy over quick. Beauty attracts admiration and demands a pedestal; cuteness attracts affection and demands a lap. Beauty is rare and brutal, despoiled by a single pimple. Cuteness is commonplace and generous, content on occasion to cosegregate with homeliness.
"rounded", "soft", "clumsy"... ok, ok, i'll take "cute" instead of "beautiful". or even "decent". come on, give me something here.
