I admit I’m using height as a shorthand here. I’ll put it more simply: Do you think anyone can become a professional athlete with the right training?

I don’t. I think it’s a field where genetics determine who can succeed and who can’t. That isn’t to say that everyone who can become a professional athlete becomes one though.

Genetics can certainly determine success in athletics.

But, what genetics? Predictably? I argue, no, not predictably, and quite possibly never predictably across populations.

Hence my overarching argument which is that "these attempts to 'figure out' genetic predispositions across populations are pointless."
