Gene-environment interactions don't eliminate heritability estimates; they explain residual variation while maintaining the conceptual distinction between genetic and environmental factors.

Conceptual distinction(Contrasted with real distinction): A distinction in which one thing is considered from different perspectives or aspects, without implying real compositeness.
Gene-environment interactions(as used in psychology and biology): The way your inherited traits (genes) and your surroundings (environment) work together to shape who you are, rather than either one acting alone.
Heritability estimates(as used in behavioral genetics): A statistical measurement that tries to show what percentage of a trait (like intelligence or height) comes from your genes versus your environment; it's an attempt to quantify 'nature versus nurture.'
Residual variation(as used in statistics and genetic research): The leftover differences between people that can't be explained by the main factors you're studying—the 'mystery' part that's still unaccounted for.
