Ok now a Lipstick Albino is just a line of albinos that express extreme redness and contrast. I get that.

When there is litter of lipstick albinos or sunglows, some of the babies do not express this "Lipstickness".

Since not all babies express this, then they are not Lipsticks. Therefore how can they be passed as lipstick albinos?

I see people trying to sell off their albinos or sunglows as lipstick line which clearly don't show it. Or sell off het lipsticks when the lipstick parent doesn't even have this expression.

In my breeding experience, high contrast and high red albinos or sunglows will throw offspring that express the same, but not every neonate.

So a low expression sunglow from a lipstick mother, IMO, cannot be passed as lipstick, but only the offspring that express this "Lipstick" trait?

Am i just arguing a moot point to death, or is there some validity to this?
