Changes

Bill was born at a time when non-therapeutic infant circumcision was a [[Routine Infant Circumcision| routine procedure]] in the [[United States ]] and almost every boy automatically received a [[circumcision]] within hours after birth. It was then common for many Americans to have never seen a normal [[penis ]] with a [[foreskin]]. As a teen, Bill attended the exclusive [https://www.lakesideschool.org/ Lakeside School]. In those years, a student with an [[intact ]] foreskin would be extremely rare or even non-existent at the school. It is probable that Bill learned nothing during his adolescence about the nature and [http://www.intactaus.org/information/functionsoftheforeskin/ multiple functions] of the [[foreskin]]. It is likely that Bill still views the [[circumcised ]] penis as "normal".

Bill's apparently profound lack of knowledge of the [[immunological and protective function of the foreskin]] would have rendered him naively gullible when presented with fake claims, based on bad science, of the alleged value of [[circumcision ]] in preventing [[HIV]] infection.
