OK, well I read the article and I can't really disagree with it because it doesn't actually say anything. It questions current assumptions but doesn't come up with any conclusions of its own. It offers no evidence that parents have zero influence on their kids.

I think she's just throwing an idea out there to challenge people. Nothing wrong with that. I'm with Happy Monkey that people become who they are because of a balance of Nature and Nurture. Can't give parents all the credit (or blame) and can't say they have zero influence on their kids either. It's a mix.
