That is quite possibly the worst excuse because it is bringing our cultures obsession with looks to the level of performing cosmetic surgery on a baby. One of the other reasons that I heard of it being so popular in the USA was as a way to stop teenage boys from masturbating, and that was strongly advocated by John Harvey Kellogg.
Surely though if a study of this sort was done on men who kept themselves clean, didn't have multiple partners and used condoms then the results would be vastly different. Seems the results of this study were only published as a way to further promote this mutilation of infants as a good thing.
