That can be screened as well with a large population-wide survey such has been 
done in the UK or Iceland.
Of course, it is unlikely that complex behaviors will be governed by isolated 
mutations, so the task is to look for highly predictive motifs (e.g. regular 
expressions).

Ha! Now you're trolling. The answer is: "because the sites that generate 
reading ability (or whatever) *also* generate other 'abilities'", with 
"abilities" in scare quotes because many abilities are considered bad ... like 
the ability of a pimply faced white dude to shoot up a church or blow up a 
federal building.

In addition to polyphenism, there's robustness. If more than 1 site generates 
the same functional ability (reading), then do we write them all? ... just one 
of them? ... a probabilistically predictive handful of them?
