It's basic Mendelian genetics/inheritance---the same process dog breeders have been using for thousands of years. Lysenkoism doesn't enter into it, at all.
Feel free to disagree with Katie but let's not accuse her of being `unscientific' by attributing to her a view she does not hold.

Nope, this is not as simple as cross breeding pea plants. Behavior is controlled by thousands of genes, not 1-2. Claiming you’ve created a new breed after 1-2 generations with a different phenotype is pretty nuts, esp if that trait is something that has existed for much much longer.
I didn't say that it was simple or that it wouldn't take a long time, just that the same principles apply.
Breeding dogs is not Lysenkoism and making that comparison is not only inaccurate but, given the baggage that Lysenkoism carries, more than slightly over the top.
Nope. We are talking about behavior, a trait determined by thousands of different genes with different inheritance patterns so it is literally not “basic Mendelian genetics”.

As such, definitely not Lysenkoism, right?
