It's a very irritating one because it is so glaringly false. Example: in arguments concerning homosexuality, it's often assumed that if this orientation is not genetic, it must mean that it's a "lifestyle choice."
My native tongue is Polish. That's the way I am; I had precisely zero choice in this matter. Are you really telling me that this implies there must be a gene regulating things like that? I assure you there isn't. You can sequence my genome till kingdom come and you will never find a 'Native Tongue' gene with a value set to 'Polish' anywhere in there.
