An insightful essay. Yes, the social constructs with intent to defraud. AAP religious/financial interests undisclosed and a circumcised culture, more than happy to accept circumcision serves a social good.

IMO It's very useful to talk about the truth value of a claim separate from the role that claim plays in a social system. Reminds me of the truth value of a statement vs the provability of a statement relative to a logical system. Perhaps the conventions around quoting could be usefully employed here.
