Um, you did understand what I posted, right?

It's kinda funny his reasoning here, considering what produces color in most animals are melanin (browns/blacks), erythrin (reds/oranges) and xanthin (yellows). The purple that is seen in lavender cornsnakes is not really a red+blue purple, but shades of melanin and erythrin that appear purple.
See any word for BLUE in there?

I think its wrong if it is for the purpose of misleading. Maybe not, if it is for the purpose of not explaining to hundreds of people what the difference is between the two (polygenic and recessive) when you can get the same results.
It's misleading whether it's deliberate or not.

POLYGENIC = relating to a characteristic controlled by the interaction of genes at more than one locus.

(added in case an individual is reading this and does not know what that means)
