Terry,
I must admit I was reaching when I came up with that but was trying to play the "devils advocate". I had read all the prevous posts and for the most part couldn't understand what Jeff was talking about. So I got Betchels book out and re-read the descriptions on the subject. Still confused on how you could call a "hypo" an albino I read the simple definitions in the glossary and it occured to me how someone might interpet it that way.
These are the definitions I'm refurring to: "albino-absent or deficient melanin, amelanistic-containing no melanin, hypo-decreased black and brown melanin".
The amelanistic definition is quite clear, while you could argue that a hypo does has deficient melanin therefore could be classified as an albino? I could be totaly ignorant and missing the whole point but honestly can't think of another theary that makes any sense.
Jeff,
Please elaborate more as I would also like to understand how you are coming to your conclusions.
Tad
