Yes, that's true
That's why I said the scriptwriters would have grossly over-extrapolated. If anything, you'd probably expect an "inherited" behaviour pattern to be due to environmental influences than genetic, so not really "inherited" in the sense of the word we're discussing here.

And I admit my understanding of the distinction between inheriting character traits and evolutionary psychology is ropey (I realise the two are related but not the same), having not read all that much about it. I just thought I'd throw the idea in there for general interest.
