The premise that backs this approach seems to be that there is a black and white “genetic standard” but the reality is surely very subtle shades of grey. What are the parameters for deciding between genetically viable and genetically unviable?

It's not a genetic standard, it's a phenotypic advantage. Taller humans are preferred by other humans and have a physical advantage over the competition so they are more likely to survive as the fittest.
