You do understand that verbage is accurate at different levels, don't you. That is, common usage is accurate, even when it differs from academic definition.

It actually depends of level of usage. For hobby level genetics(playing with snake genetics) those ignorants you speak of, are fine and accurate. They are doing great without your labeling.

What you are reading is verbage meant for teaching. To gain a general understanding. But where you seem to miss out is, it may not be accurate when applied to actual living situations(applied as compared to academic). They are loose guides. Those working with genetics, indeed modify the meaning of those terms.

What I see you doing and please, we all do something odd, is making ironclad rules, that simply are not meaningful. And you dismiss what you do not understand.

YOu commonly say, I don't know why the snakes do this or that, then add, no one does. In that, your wrong. Many people do, just not you. The point is, you get mad(crazy) is you think your being called ignorant, yet, with your googled up genetics, everyone else is now ignorant.

Like you going on and one about albinos. Albinos is an accurate term when used for snakes lacking all black pigment. Its was never meant to include red or yellow. Simply lacking black. So what kind of ignorant are those folks that call, a T-positive, an albino or amel?? No, its not about accurate, its actually about use, those terms are of use. They worked fine and still do. Its not about ignorant. Is it useful?

Ignorant is making mistakes and keep doing it, even when you know better.

So your offended when I back a statement with supporting evidence and it makes you feel ignorant. Yet, you go on and on, calling all manner of folks ignorant.

Later sir.
