just as it is an extrascriptural speculation that no other DNA was involved.

I disagree on that. The scripture of course does not operate with such terms at all, but the only human involvement that it mentions is Mary; it is very specific that Mary "knew no man". If someone ignorant of genetics reads the Gospel, he would conclude that Jesus's flesh is all from Mary. Since the Evangelists were likewise ignorant of genetics, such reading would be more literal and therefore truer.
