DAVID: Our problem is your interpretation of blank slate differed from mine. We actually agree.

dhw: I don’t know what your interpretation is. You’ve only told us that the personality is a blank slate but 40% of the personality is already present.

Simple: at birth the genetics are a potential, nurture is a potential and experience is yet to come. All contribute to the development of personality as life continues. Blank slate at birth. You are arguing that all these potentials, not yet existing in practice mean the personality is already formed! I'm looking at this as a process, starting from zero personality to fully formed personality at age 25.
