But you've offered no proof that it is a negative trait. Just because all spiders have it doesn't mean that it's bad hehe. If you don't like them (or just the wobbling) then that's fine, but there are plenty of differences between specimens of all species.
Again, for example, many Asians lack an enzyme needed to break down alcohol, and so even a small drink makes them feel really sick.
But I wouldn't say that they shouldn't breed because they'll pass it to their kids, and I also wouldn't say they shouldn't breed with other ethnicities because they'll sully our genetic material.
Unless there's a clear negative effect, I'll remain unconvinced. (And I mean, one that's spinning badly and keeps smacking its head, I could see the argument that HE has a disorder, but as long as they're just a little weird, let them be!) Variety is the spice of life!
