You've set up a false dichotomy. I guess I have to reiterate, "the world isn't black and white". Suppose that 90% of our children can be made better through proper upbringing and 10% can't (by today's social standards of what is "better"). We'll still evolve a natural desire to try, because there's a huge change it will work properly, but sometimes it won't. I didn't even claim "this is true", I only suggest that this cannot be dismissed unless we see enough real evidence that proves otherwise.

I didn't speak till I was 5. I have rare genetic disorder (1 in 50,000 odds). At preschool I was labeled 'retarded' and 'not fit for primary school' by a teacher. My mom never gave up. I had the highest GED score in high school. I was vice-president of a Student's Union at the University. I work just a regular job, but I live comfortable life of a professional. How would you know who is a hopeless case and who is not? There is no way to know unless you try. Just like with starting a business, lol, you won't know if you're going to succeed unless you try. That's why we have moms Man. Because they always try and believe no matter what. And I think I'm a good example why Nature made them this way.
