Mentioning nature nurture in the social sciences will get you laughed out. Not because the dichotomy acknowledges more variables but because it fails to acknowledge them and the complexity involved.

As someone with a scientific logical mind, l would never 'laugh anyone out' because l have an open mind, l will consider all opinions.
I am well aware of the variables and complexity.

One of those complexity's is that sometimes genetic traits are so strong that nurture has little effect.

Once upon a time Galileo was 'laughed out' imprisoned no less, for saying the Earth was round.
Thanks for this!
