Let's also disambiguate the two meanings of bedi'eved -- there is the
post-facto question of whether there was a chalos and the separate
question of whether one was yotzei. The former: you shouldn't do X, but
if you did, there is still a change of halachic state. The latter: the
proper way to do the mitzvah is to do X, but if you erred, and omitted
that step, you're still yotzei.

RZS said the baby is not left an areil. That doesn't mean that one still
fulfilled the mitzvah of milah. We are still talking of asking those who
hold metzitzah is part of milah to altogether do away with one of the most
cenral of mitzvos.
