According to that, though, Rad's hair would still grow. His body is accustomed to his current mass, so he would need to add on to it for the same reason Goku did.

Not necessarily. It could have simply meant that Raditsu potential to hold power was higher than Goku's because he had the long hair, where Goku needed to add muscle mass as well as hair, Raditsu might have been okay since he had more mass to distribute through his body.

So by that logic, Nappa has about as much potential as a bag of dead gerbils.

Interesting theory, but I doubt it.

I actually think it's highly plausible. I mean, one of the major, if not the biggest theme of DBZ is that hard work can overcome birth. Look at the proof. The main character was born with an 'average' powerlevel, nothing special. When Raditz first comes along, Goku is shit by comparison. But he keeps at it, and eventually overcomes royalty, and becomes like the strongest saiyan, and one of the strongest entities, to ever exist. So it's not like blood is the deciding factor in who lives and dies - it just gives you an edge, albeit one which can be overcome with effort.
