If 'innate' means only that the mind has a capacity to produce such ideas when triggered, this is trivially compatible with adventitious origins and dissolves the distinction Descartes relies upon.

Adventitious(as used in theories of knowledge): Coming from outside sources or from your experiences in the world, rather than being built into you from birth.
Descartes: # Descartes René Descartes was a French philosopher and mathematician from the 1600s who fundamentally changed how people think about knowledge and the mind. He's famous for the idea "I think, therefore I am" (cogito ergo sum), which means that the very fact that you can think proves you exist—a foundation for modern philosophy. He also invented the coordinate system used in mathematics (the x and y axes on a graph), which connects geometry and algebra in practical ways we still use today.
Dissolves the distinction(as used in philosophical arguments): Removes or erases the important difference between two competing ideas, making them seem like they're saying the same thing after all.
Innate(describing knowledge or abilities present from birth): Something you're born with or that comes naturally built into you, rather than something you learn or develop over time.
