As to  these problems being inevitable, they could probably be reversed,

along the "good" genes  as well as the "bad" genes in ever  concentrating
amounts.


I have assumed that that Mr. Waters, who is British and a professional  
wordsmith, chose his words carefully when he spoke  of  "selecting"  for decorative 
traits, not "breeding" for  them.
