It may be true that many people talk about genetics without really having the first clue what they are and how they work.
Personally, I think it's funny how so many people talk about "culture" without having the first clue what it is and how it works. "Culture" is so frequently tossed around as an explanation, but it isn't an explanation at all (any more than saying something is "genetic" or "evolved"). What are the specific environmental inputs that are represented by the concept of "culture" and how do they work to form "a person in terms of drive, motivation, and determination"? And how do these cultural factors accomplish this independent of any heritable factors? And how do we demonstrate this causal independence?
