Twin studies are not worthless, but they are limited. If you are trying to figure out why people from the same city and class have differences in trait X, then a twin study will help find that out. But if you are trying to find out why people from different classes and/or locations have a difference in trait X, then a twin study will not really randomize the environment, because both twins will likely be adopted by someone of the same class.
