It's interesting that you assume, incorrectly, that I did not read the article in its entirety.

So the explanation for the true meaning of her article is that she somehow "misused" the words born and biological throughout her arguments? and that what fundamentally causes someone to become a Nazi is their environment?

Whether your interpretation of her arguments is correct or not, I hold that individuals who promote national-socialism (i.e. Nazism) are entirely responsible for choosing evil ideas (not helpless pawns of their childhood feeding, physical training, or as you assert "environmental factors").

Ok, if you read the article then you've missed the context. She's pretty clear as to what she's meant by born which I've quoted above i.e born with a silver spoon. She's also made it clear as to what she meant by 'biological factors' which others have already commented on as well as quoted, which is definitely not how people today would interpret it.
