I completely understand what you're saying and I agree that there are some rather unscrupulous... or, uneducated sellers out there. Having said that, "lipstick" is a line bred trait so it gets confusing. If a low colored albino is born in a lipstick x lipstick breeding, technically it's from the lipstick "line".
IMO, those sorts of boas should be referred to as lipstick lineage with normal color. That's not going to happen though because who is going to admit their albino has "normal" or average color when they could just lie and deceive and make more money.
I'm not pointing any fingers by the way. But we've each seen several examples of this situation.
Another good topic!
