My apologies if this rains on your parade, or perhaps avalanches on your
argument but ...

following a childhood accident of my own stupidity, I had a
well-developed fear of heights. Sweaty palms, hammering  heart - the
whole bit. Later - in my 30's, I learnt to rock-climb, abseil,
lead-climb, and eventually climbed in the Antarctic, ice-climbed in New
Zealand, etc.  It doesn't prove everything can be learnt, but I think it
does put a dent in your above "universality" assertion at this point.
