sounds like you have a very dominant opinion that the word "dominant" can only be used in one context... i.e., "dominant mode of inheritance."

I agree with your use of the word in that sense, but it's not the only way the word can be used - in my opinion.

I can't really think of a reason to use the term "recessive hypo" but maybe a "dominant hypo" is that one hypo in a gang of hypos that all the other hypos want to follow and emulate??

maybe then, that one hypo could be called "the dominant hypo"..?
I just hope that that "dominant" hypo is a good guy or girl and sets a good example for the rest of the hypo boas..

trying to have fun.
I know.......... you don't need to tell me..
I'm wrong.
