Heh. Ok - your turn to use an example ;) Are you saying that instinct X drives us to outcome Y, yet it isn't 'just' instinct X that gets that outcome for us?
...if so, I'm pretty sure I agree. But an example might help...
Uh, yah, I was saying instinct X drives us to desire outcome Y. I mean, this is fairly obvious, no? I just didn't state that very well... actually I think I wrote the same thing pretty much three times in a row. Ah, the joys of watching my brain spurt out crap. :)
