Inherent traits are overcome by the general public all the time.
Male dogs have an inherent trait to mark and yet most people have no issues knowing how to train their males that marking in their house is an unacceptable expression of the inherent trait. Most people don't just accept "boys will be boys" (in their house); and yet they are willing to accept that herding dogs will nip children and make no effort to train them not to because "herding dogs will herd".
