Shaving: Why?

I don't get it.

I've been away from cycling for a couple decades, and never cycled competitively, so I just don't know why a guy would shave his legs for cycling. Is there a definite aerodynamic advantage? As an engineer I would think that any advantage would be very slight and only make a difference at the very highest levels.

So.... edumacate me.
