They are, but often what they make is not. So it is not your bad; it is my bad for my unnatural communication skills, although if it serves an assist in your attempt at manmade humor, let it not be said it is all bad :)
I feel this way too, except I think I have to admit that people can make both insignificant and significant contributions to broad natural tendencies insomuch as we are also, as you said, natural. And even if my admission is due to my ego, it is still a valid admission (superego?)
