When you're pressed you can say you're just arguing that some human qualities are moderately hereditable. Everyone agrees with that. But when you're not under attack you can go back to believing that the lower classes are genetically inferior, or other horrible thing
I do think you're motte-and-baileying between "Look at this racist fascist crazy person" and "Well, the research is so complicated that nobody can be SURE this is wrong"

I don't know how to argue that I'm motivated more by wanting to be able to discuss scientific research on important topics without being called fascist than by desire to hurt poor people for fun. Seems crazy to me to believe opposite.

Your papers agree that something called "criminality" or "antisocial behaviour" is hereditary without bothering to consider how either of those terms are constructed. That's my whole point. You can't get around that just by reasserting the original statement.
