Some people think that this is an aesthetic or cosmetic decision based in religion, tradition or culture, as opposed to primarily based on science.

Is it not possible for them to quite matter of factly be of the opinion that something they deem as unnecessary can be stupid?
There are posters in this thread who have called parents who circumcise their children evil and inhumane. The procedure itself has been called barbaric. I would be surprised if there was anyone in this discussion who takes issue with the view that it is unnecessary and can be stupid—I personally think it weird that any man would care about whether or not his son's penis resembles his own. But I don't think it is too much of an ask to expect everyone to fall well short of drawing false equivalencies between opinions on this with real human atrocities and tragedies.
