What part wasn't true?
Snozzle's post said nothing about intact guys and the possibility of their having hair on their penile shaft skin.
Some guys have hairier shafts than others, regardless of circumcision status. However, it's also true that circumcision often pulls remaining skin toward the glans, so a guy who might only have had that inch of hair at the base that you mention might now have hair growing right up to his circumcision scar (and more webbing between shaft and scrotum than he otherwise would have had).
I've seen pics of guys with hair growing all along their shaft and even on the outer foreskin. And some pics of both cut and uncut guys with virtually no hair growing beyond the pubis or scrotum. What is universal is that the mucosal surfaces of the penis grow no hair.
