Grrrrr.... Ok, I'm definitely shifting to the "the field is complicated and the results are uncertain" meta-position on genetics.

I think this is mostly a "small sample size" thing, like with international IQ comparisons. (This specific thing was a case of "the level of A and B are both individually significant, but the difference between A and B isn't significant," as I recall.)
