"BTW, I read Lysenko out of curiosity and his writtings were superior to the popular and faulty beliefs in psudo-Darwinian theory."
Lysenko and his policies crippled Soviet agriculture. He believed in the inheritance of acquired characteristics (neo-lamarkianism) long after this was conclusively shown to be crap by scientists. He was a crackpot who had followers of Darwin murdered. Please think again about who you are championing.

Please think again about who you are championing. I am not championing Lysenko. I just said that his was better than some other stuff. When someone gets better grade than another it does not mean that the grade is good. For example D is better than F.
BTW, there are could be some grains of truth in his work. So maybe he should get D+ or C- :). I suspect that there could be some mechanism for inheriting the acquired traits.
