For anyone who knows elementary biology or genetics let us take note that "recessive" doesn't necessarily mean "inferior". They are not synonyms in the genetic world as much as we would like to think, seeing as our brains like to perceive things in the most simplistic way possible. For those of you who have been repeatedly saying "pay attention to the story! ocelot said solid snake was inferior so therefore solid snake has recessive genes" needs to retake their high school science class.

To me, it is of no surprise that Liquid is the superior(NOT the "dominant") one. While Snake is a direct clone of Big Boss, he harbors all of the same traits (thus the dominant genes). I assume that Liquid's creation was an experiment... to see if using the recessive genes would create an even stronger soldier. If liquid's creation were simply for "the hell of it" then it would be a waste of time. Liquid feels that he is a failed experiment simply because his recessive traits hold him further from being like his father, while in reality it is this differential equation that makes him that much greater.
