It is when we're talking real world application. Because we're talking about a real observable behavior and belief system, the "relative size of the range" is extremely important. If, as I'm indicating, no such innate behavioral range exists to explain hitting a woman for something like spending too much money and not hitting a woman, the point stands. I'm saying that it's entirely cultural. I'm saying no such range exists in innate tendencies to explain why I would not hit a woman for spending too much money and some asshat in Saudi Arabia would.
It's 100% cultural and I'm 100% certain. If you're uncertain, find a Saudi that's been westernized and see if he has an innate urge to beat his wife but only refrains from doing so because of the law.
