For me this explanation of "Incomplete penetrance" seems easier to understand.

Although the finger toe trait your speaking of.

I heard of it but always thought it was a recessive trait.

I think the first time I heard of this was on X-files.

Then once again one of those Internet hoaxes claimed

Oprah Winfrey had this condition.

I thought in researching it I read it was recessive.

Its been awhile plus my source could've been and probably was inadequate.

As you warn Paul in the case of Reptiles /Boas if someone makes this claim,(penetrance condition)

walk the other way.LOL

Thanks for all of your insight Paul.
