If it is proven to be genetic thing... fine... in fact, excellent. That said, to speculate upon genetics without some sort of proof is treading on dangerous ground, a la The Nazis and all the superior race inherent in it.

I'm not saying it is wrong to speculate only that it is dangerous ground and one *should* tread carefully.
