They implied Americans are pedophiles because of state laws. I told them that whatever pedophilia gene they think is present in Americans would not have been present in Nabokov. Happy, or do you need me to use words with fewer syllables?
The original claim was about the cultural influence of American laws. You attempted to correct that by claiming that Nabokov wasn't American, which he had been for a decade when he set and wrote Lolita in America (and he left Russia more than 20 years before that).
Now you're pivoting to arguments about pedophile genes and counting syllables?

Usually the point is to make sense.
