That's a very good question you guys. I honestly don't have the answer. It's really tough to say exactly when certain forms of either one stop being one type and become the other, or vice-versa.
When only the enzyme tyrosinase is present and zero amount of melanin is allowed to be synthesized(true t-plus) it is a bit easier to distinguish and classify, but when varying amounts are allowed to be processed by the cells into small amounts of melanin, this is where the head-scratching occurs as to what they would be more accurately termed.
Also, it all depends on the actual quantity of tyrosinase present in the cells to begin with as to their specific looks too. This in itself and combined with how much tyrosinase the cells allow to leach in and mix into actual melanin is what is so impossible to get a handle on. Like I've said many times before, the more we understand, the LESS we actually know about certain things.
I submit to anyone here to start researching some of this "L-dopa" testing, "tyrosinase" pre-cursor protein, melanin synthesis, hypomelanism thing as I have in the past, and then see how many answers regarding this topic you are then CERTAIN of..LOL!. This is when you will simply slap a label on the deli cup to the best of your human ability and simply ride with whatever it happens to be..LOL!!!
