Just sounds like passing the buck further.

I'm more altruistic than average. Regression to the mean says my kids will be less altruistic. And it would be rude to manipulate them into doing anything. I would surely do my best to instill the values I think are good, but in the end, it would be their individual choice.

Fair interpretation. As you point out, the installation of your values would, perhaps, push them above the mean. But it's ultimately a dice roll.
