Alright but the studies that try to control for environment are out there if you want to read them. It does not appear to be cut-and-dry nature or nurture.

It at least allows a reality-based world-view instead of a good-feeling-based world-view. That makes sense. Things like spatial reasoning and pattern recognition don't define a person.
