I have a sibling very close in age and in my experience just coming from the same home and parents doesn't mean a whole lot, siblings can have wildly different experiences and be treated by the adults around them quite different. Not to mention there are forces which make you want to differentiate from your sibling and intentionally be different. I don't think that anecdote is nearly informative enough to make any conclusions.

That's true, but is that due to all the adults and "forces" around them conspiring to treat them different, or is it due to them behaving in a way that elicits certain responses? Surely some of each, no? So then, nature may have a way of manipulating nurture in a sense.
