To answer your first question I must first know how you define debate. But seeing something is accumulating knowledge, you see what it looks like therefore you know what it looks like, the same goes for all of our senses. Yes that is all very well and good but one was not defining accumulated knowledge as science one as defining it as what one has experienced in life. I find it hard to take fictional stories as proof, but in the case of that story I can admit that there are situations like that but that does not mean that it is a majority of situations, there are abusive and resentful relationship out there between blood, and loving caring ones between genetic strangers.
But accumulating knowledge is generally held in more than a simple sense of experience. Yes, we experience things constantly, but the minute amount of information we acquire from this is hardly anything compared to actual study. When you are looking for a specific point and are actually studying a subject, it is far easier to make relevant points. This is why not morons aren't believed - their claims are obviously faulty.
I don't, however, see how pointing out that there are exceptions to every rule aids your point. Yes, some adopted children are loved, but from what we get from the news, magazines, the internet, and books show us a much higher percentage of dissimilar genetics causing strife within a family. Most abusive relationships between those of common blood tend to be because of an unresolved issue in the parent's life, and the love is still there, at least from what those same sources tell us.

The rise of intellectuals? I think you might not realize just how crammed full of morons this planet is, they come in every shape size. As for assigned roles, yes there have in the past been assigned roles and there still are today, although I do not see how pointing out that society changes helps your point.
And who are the people in central control of society? Politicians, scientists, and philosophers. Bush is merely a tool for the officials behind him, I believe, and they are intelligent enough to manipulate people for money. Scientists and philosophers are changing the way the world thinks. Just because they are a minority does not mean they do not have power.
Societal roles prove my point by saying that fathers were forced not to show their love for their children because of societal stereotypes, and that is still in effect today.
