Another reason to favor nurture explanations is that nurture explanations carry less weight in an argument than nature explanations.<p>There&#x27;s no arguing with nature, it&#x27;s the ultimate citation.<p>But nurture means that you, or somebody involved, had a choice. So the buck stops at, rather than the faceless divinity of nature, a mere human. And those are much easier to dismiss.<p>So we paint the opposing argument as arising from nurture rather than nature. And those arguments stick around and get cited. And a &quot;it&#x27;s all nurture&quot; model develops.
