Its like saying preacher curls add height to the bicep, you cant change the shape of a muscle or your genetics, but you can make the muscle bigger by using midrange movements like deads, pull-ups ,rows, ect, ect,

Yeh bro...you tell him

People don't realise that there is ultimately nothing you can do other than get bigger and fulfill your potential. With that, the width will come and the overall shape, and a variety of back exercises can achieve that. Notably deads, wide overhand pullups, narrow underhand pullups, underhand rows and one arm rows. This provides different angles and will therefore keep your muscles guessing more and will bring growth and size.

By the way, what is your definition of midrange? I always just call them compound or multi-joint exercises, but what does midrange specifically mean...

surely if you make the muscle bigger it will add height to it as well as width??

with back, i know i can do exercises to add width or make the back thicker. ie deads, rows for thickness, pulldowns for width! i know about genetics, and i cant do anything about that!

what does everyone think about straight arm pushdowns? the reason i ask is because i want to be able to use 2 different back width exercises everytime i hit my back! so if i do lat pulldowns and pullups (which i cant do, but hypothetically) one week what could i do the next FOR BACK WIDTH!??

S.P.G was saying that the overall mass will generate that width and genetic shape, as I said in my post also.

Straight arm pushdowns are rubbish, not enough mass and its not a natural movement. Do one arm rows, underhand barbell rows, wide overhand pulldowns, and narrow underhand pulldowns. These are natural compound movements that will generate mass and therefore width.
