Is your argument that because only around 0.07% of our genes are different between individuals, their effect can also only be 0.07%? Because that doesn’t convince me, a small difference can have a large effect.
Not that you need to convince me of your claim, just wondering if I understood the argument.
Fair enough, it only takes a few genes to have childhood leukemia or sickle cell anemia but even with genetically identical individuals (twins for example) there are also significant examples of behavioral differences (suicidal bomber, pedophiles, etc) between them.
So it is hard to find a good number that wasn’t just a feels good number and so my entirely rough guess was based on how clonal humans are (genetically speaking).

Excellent deduction (and spot on).
