When they use the word "innate" in this context it raises interesting questions. In biology, it is possible for various population to have similar genes, but at different frequencies, and these frequencies can change in relatively few generations. In human behavior, consider cooperativeness. Cultures in which everyone is docile will not survive, but neither will those where none are all that cooperative. Different circumstances brings out different needs, and who prospers and reproduces changes.
Something similar could be happening in epistemology. All societies may be operating from the same core approaches, but at different frequencies, and these might change relatively quickly as well.

Certainly it matters not to the Sons of God what humanity thinks of them.
They can always retort: The last time one of us came down here, you guys crucified him. So don't call us, we will call you.
Haha.
