As far as genetics go i also thought they had ruled out the single gene theory & were looking at multiple genes & different combinations of genes in different cases - again, combined with environmental 'triggers'.

In Science people do not tend to rule anything out , they should go where the research leads them. We can not guarantee a simple model to describe schiz causation. I suppose the evidence is important and there is evidence that schiz is a complicated condition in terms of gene interactions , etc. But there is the matter of the people that are coming up with research goals and those who are investing heavily in the private drugs trade; a complex model for describing schiz would suit their interests better. So let's give the simple model a chance.
