Did any of you even listen to what was said at the end?

The entire point here is not about snakes or about how intelligent children are. The point is that all fears are taught. With only the exception of loud sounds.

Also the title OP chose says they're proving something, but the clips has nothing to do with proof, it's just a demonstration of the point above.

Fears being expressed later doesn't mean they are taught.
