There is totally a genetic problem caused by multiple generations marrying inside the family though, which is part of where the taboo comes from

Frank is an anthropologist and he literally said that's not the case, so I'm not sure why you're saying this? It is more of a "vibe" thing?

What I said is a widely documented fact. Frank doesn't actually contradict it except in the sense that he doesn't consider that historical cases of muti-generational inbreeding contributed to the taboo around first cousin marriage. Since I've seen multiple claims of this that I consider reliable I would need to see some counter-evidence of that, anthropologist or not.

It may be widely documented in the sense that it's basically bad information that remains hegemonic.
