This is an excellent guess and correct (AFAICT). Thanks for supplying so much interpretive labor!
What I think you intend to contrast this to: “Every detail of human values has to be specified in the genome—the complexity of the values and the complexity of the genome have to be closely related.”
I’d say our position contrasts with “A substantial portion of human value formation is genetically pre-determined in a complicated way, such that values are more like adaptations and less like exaptations—more like contextually-activated genetic machinery and influences than learned artifacts of simple learning-process-signals.”

In terms of past literature, I disagree with the psychological nativism I’ve read thus far. I also have not yet read much evolutionary psychology, but expect to deem most of it implausible due to information inaccessibility of the learned world model.
