There's a non light terminological issue there. To say that specimen "as found in nature" are weak at something (uneducated) is one think, to say that it is "connatural" to them, that it is "their nature", is completely different¹. I would not mix them up.

(¹Actually opposite: the first indicates an unexpressed nature, the second a manifested one.)
