Lets look at hair colour as an example. Lets assume that blonde, which is recessive, is equivilent to some genetic disease, and brown is some quality an ubermensch would possess. Let us assume that each parent has a copy of the blonde chromosome (Bl) and the brown one (Br).
There is a 1/4 chance that the child will end up Bl, and thus the mating is a failure. There is a 1/2 chance that it will end up with the same hair colour chromosome distribution as its parents, and 1/4 that it will end up with a superior one, with Br/Br.
That's the basis of the argument, really. However, like lots of the things that Winston has to say, it's flawed - either meaningless or such a low outcome, probability wise, that it should be ignored.
