So they're sufficiently intertwined that you don't want to oppose these
two things in a discussion.

Or even accord them *relative* importances. As a friend of mine
recently pointed out about a related dichotomy, the nature/nurture
dichotomy -- to speak of 30% nature and 70% nurture is like talking
about a lock and key mechanism that is 30% key and 70% lock.
