He produced an appalling video on “The science of circumcision” in which he got almost everything wrong or portrayed it in a misleading way. He uncritically peddled “intactivist” pseudoscience he copied off the internet and ignored reams of peer-reviewed science contradicting his assertions. Look at the comments threads following the video and text versions on his website for my debunkings of his nonsense. To date he has only corrected three of his many howlers, and in the last correction (https://mylespower.co.uk/2017/12/01/top-ten-myles-power-fk-ups/ scroll to item 9) he lied about me, misrepresented me, and name-called me. See my replies in the comments that follow. He has failed to address the numerous faults I pointed out to him, and he ignores my emails. And years have passed without any further attempt at correcting his errors. His behaviour, at least on this topic, has been dishonest, cowardly and unprofessional. Even “skeptics” can be duped by pseudoscience it seems.
