WW2 Nazis didn't become what they were just by dint of (purported) ethnic/genetic advantages;
indoctrination played a huge part in their reinvention. It's simply that Aura - an obsessive individual with severe psychological issues that Ulen himself described as arrogant and manipulative - raised the Accords under the dogma that they were the best of the best and, because Durandal himself thought so in writing his Destiny Plan, their genes couldn't lead them to do anything wrong...or just fail. They grew up with no other moral guardrails aside from "do it for the Accord cause" and "let your genes do the talking". It's such a radically restrictive type of education that, in the end, they couldn't fathom other super-Coordinators going...biologically off-script.
