OK, let's take this a step farther.
It is accepted in our society to pierce our daughters ears when they are young... as decoration. The Chinese will not - if just because of their understanding of accupuncture. Through this study one can come to understand there are points and nerve endings in the ears [as well as other places around your body] that effect other senses and functions in our bodies. Slice through one of those, and it might adversly effect your vision, sense of smell, blood pressure or ability to digest foods properly.
Are you SURE it doesn't effect anything?
