Your argument seems to be that Ishgardians are all Hyur/Elezen halfbreeds and that simply does not fly with how the setting has been constructed and supported.
I thought they specified the type of person that young priest messed with, my memory on that is shoddy lol.
As for your second point, Those same devs also answered "Yes" that it does happen. Sure, it's rare. But it happens, and it's possible that say a mutt like Hilda years prior mated to another hyur, and the baby just came out with only dominant hyur genes. While I can't really stand for how DNA works as far as a Final Fantasy game goes, yes it's purely speculation, but it can't be discredited that those Ishgardian Hyuran Dragoons might have an elezen in their line.

My argument isn't that Ishgardians are all Hyur/Elezen halfbreeds because not all Ishgardians are hyuran dragoons. Just that there could've been a few hyuran bloodlines that interbreeded with an elezen descendant of the original dragoons.
