With the current scientific descriptions I can see how someone could argue some of the "hypos" could be classified as "albinos", (not "amels" . It seems the two (albinos,hypos)overlap each other in terms of their description, similar to sinaloa and nelsoni in regards to ring counts.
They would have to more clearly define the two (albinos, hypos)with sound scientific evidence for me to change the current accepted classification.
Hopefully the appropriate ones determining these classifications will look more closley at them in the future and put this debate to rest.
Until then, I will continue to call true "amels" albinos and the so-called "hypos", hypos. At this point, I feel calling some of these so-called "hypos" albinos would only add to the confusion.
