Given the snake's history (pet shop acquisition with no information as to where it came from before that), I doubt anyone would call it an Okeetee locality corn. So the only real question was whether it qualified as okeetee phase. And no, it does not.

Yes you did mention locality, later.
But in the original response you didn't say all of that.
You simply said borders too thin to be an okeetee.
Phase was never mentioned.

I am not trying to argue normal or okeetee.
We can never be sure.
The fact that it was in a pet store and the owners had no idea, would also lead me towards normal.
That wasn't the problem.
I just don't feel you can jump to a definite conclusion just by
the look or non-look of the snake.

Of course this debate has been going on for years.
And will be going on for many more years.
Like I said before, until we completely drop locality from the equation looks alone do not define okeetee.
but we are basically beating a dead horse anyway.
okeetees are simply normals with a name.
