Upon further reflection, the K2 in the Himalayas
example is exagerated, it would draw comparisons to
Maria Nieves.

Let's take instead the lowest, closest to where I
live, mountain range which requires alpinistic skills.
My argument proofs true, which therefore implies its
universality: "Not everything can be learned".

My apologies if this rains on your parade, or perhaps avalanches on your
argument but ...

following a childhood accident of my own stupidity, I had a
well-developed fear of heights. Sweaty palms, hammering heart - the
whole bit. Later - in my 30's, I learnt to rock-climb, abseil,
lead-climb, and eventually climbed in the Antarctic, ice-climbed in New
Zealand, etc. It doesn't prove everything can be learnt, but I think it
does put a dent in your above "universality" assertion at this point.

A smart, and witty response. You must be an exceptional man. However, you didn't dent my argument, to the contrary you have reinforced it. You are clearly the exception that proves the rule.

Cheers,

Lucia
