I'm genuinely curious-- why? Art restoration is widely accepted; I just don't know why there is a special exception for cases like this... other than referencing the political/cultural reasons the penises were removed in the first place?

No problem. :D Actually, restoration of almost any kind is highly controversial when it comes to Classical art. Even more so when it's reconstructive like this. And it's just the idea of putting *magnets* in them.
I hadn't gotten that impression, though I myself am not a restoration artist. My husband does a lot of digital classical restoration (for recreating historical sculpture and places) and one of his closest friends does physical art restoration however, so I'll ask them about it in more depth.
