Oh, I wasn't stating that as my opinion and very few in psychological circles think so extremely either. Like you, I believe that there is an interaction between the two factors, despite there being almost overwhelming evidence to support the nativist position.

From the evidence I've seen (specifically concerning social psychology) the environment serves as a trigger for certain inherited, yet dormant genetic traits.
I would go into detail, but my lecture notes seem to have taken a walk somewhere and my memory doesnt serve me
