When I say screwed I'm saying that the person in Africa not only knew of it but was actually breeding it themselves. They're not idiots, they know what they have.

I also believe that we would have discovered the hidden gene eventually. Last year someone hatched out Plattys in a "Normal" to Lesser breeding. So I believe it was inevitable.
