What he is saying is that a paradox is often formed from two embryos, one albino and one not. If that blending of the two embryos also occurs in the germline cells (which produce either eggs in a female or sperm in a male) then some gametes produced will carry the gene for albinism and some will not. So even a visual albino could possibly produce gametes as though it were only Het for albino.

Also, the statistics you quoted are for *each egg*, not for the entire clutch. For instance, a Het Albino to Albino breeding will give EACH EGG a 50% chance of producing an albino and a 50% chance of producing a normal (het. albino). It does not mean that clutches will produce 50% Albinos and 50% Hets.
