Ok then you should know that there is a fucktonne of research about behaviors before values are capable of being learned

I totally know. What I said is what 'I think' not what I 'discovered'. There's isn't more science in it than in an educated guess. Taking a course doesn't make me a behavioral scientist and even then claiming what I know is absolute is pure bs.
