Okay... I think we're both sort of arguing the same thing. The snake in the original qualifies as neither an okeetee phase nor an okeetee locality snake.

IMO the snake picture you posted does not quite qualify as an okeetee phase due to the borders (unless it happens to be hypo). If you say it's a locality okeetee, then I'll have to take your word for it.

Since you absolutely cannot tell for sure what a snake's locality is from a photo (or even from just looking at the snake in person), it is absolutely silly to consider locality when given a photo and asked, 'What morph is my snake?'. Furthermore, never was the term 'okeetee' mentioned by the original poster or presumably by the petstore. Hence, I did not feel it warranted mention in this context until tspuckler started arguing that okeetees didn't all look like the okeetee phase standard.

Corn hybrids with enough corn blood to them sometimes look indistinguishable from normal corns. Should I have also mentioned that there was a possibility that cornsnake was a hybrid, since it came with unknown genetics from a petstore? I don't think so. There is no way to prove whether that snake is a locality okeetee or not, and so there's really no point in considering that as a response. Yeesh.
