You're so stuck on this concept that I have to always disagree with you that you are apparently seeing things that do not exist. I thought this was an easy concept to explain, but maybe it isn't.

 It is neither proof that it is genetic nor proof that it isn't genetic. I made this clear so that neither side believed I was arguing in their favor. It lends support to the idea that it isn't a learned behavior, but evidence that something isn't learned does not create evidence of a genetic origin.

Imagine if two people were debating whether or not global warming is occurring. Someone presents evidence that global warming occurs naturally without human involvement. The fact that it occurs naturally neither proves it is currently occurring nor disproves that it is currently occurring, it just shows us that it can occur and isn't always man's fault. 

I think you nitpicking.  If it is evidence away from learned behavior it adds more weight to the natural side of the discussion.  I get that its not "evidence".  Perhaps that a poor choice of words.
