A huge genetic component you say? How huge? So big that the statement "98% of homo-sexual intercourse comes into existence only because boys and girls are denied the opportunity to indulge with the opposite sex and fall in love" can be considered wrong? |
I already told you that this was not his claim. He was making a generalization. I believe he would have changed that sentence if he had known the grief it was going to cause. |
It may not have been
THE CLAIM, but it was certainly his claim. He made it so he owned it. If it was wrong (and I think it was) then he made a mistake. He was, in short, in error. This despite his great genius and notwithstanding his many undeniable and mathematically astute observations.
