What are the benefits of having an outer ear? It only enhances auditory capabilities; what's wrong with just chopping it off when a baby is born?

That is HARDLY the same thing and you know it. . . however, for the sake of argument, I'll run with it.

There is no recorded medical detriment to having an outer ear, however historically having foreskin has cause a lack of hygeine in the genital area, which thusly can lead to disease and all sorts of unpleasant things.

Oh for the love of. . . I don't even know why I'm going on about this. . . you won't listen to me, no matter what I say, your mind is made up. You're right, I'm wrong, blah blah blah.
