A neural network doesn’t have prejudice, it may be using Peat principles for all we know. Obviously for any given environmental factor you can find a way for genes to influence it (example, protein quality for height -> genetic advantages in using bad protein). Doesn’t mean much. In addition the neural network might be using hundreds or even all the gene information it has, to make the prediction, instead of one or two genes as the old theory would dictate. At some point it becomes just “using environmental factors indirectly to predict height, but using genes as an instrument to monitor the environmental factors” (which is what the body does, pretty much).
