I was talking with a Gadol (not sure he would like his name mentioned 
on the Internet which is forbidden) last week and this was his point. 
There are hundreds of brisen each week, and we only hear of a problem 
very rarely. Even in those cases there is a question of whether the 
bris metzitzah was the cause. Those who require it are not going to 
stop because of views stated by those who don't require it.
