Someone breeds their Sharp to a DH Kahl Sharp.

They have Albinos, the Albino offspring are Sharp 50% het Kahl.

I buy one, say to breed to my Leopard, and the Albino ends up being het Kahl. I produce DH Albino Leopards, that I think are Sharp strain.

However some are het Kahl. Now I breed those babies together, and one pair is actually TH Sharp Leopard Kahl. I get an Albino Leopard that I think it Sharp, and sell it as such. I have no way to tell if it is Sharp or Kahl.

The buyer breeds that Albino Leopard to a Sharp Sunglow. He should have a litter of Sharp Albinos and Sharp Sunglows het Leopard, but instead he ends up with Hypos and Normals, because the Albino Leopard was NOT Sharp, but was Kahl.

So now he comes back to me, and ruins my reputation, all because someone bred Sharp to a DH Sharp Kahl.

This is also why I do not like the sale of Het Kahls as normals, which is done by some just to sell the babies faster.
