1.0 pied X 0.1 100% het pied????

[Serpent_Nirvana]

This is exactly my point and for the record I never said they were random numbers. I fully understand what % possible hets mean. Of course there are many people that buy possible hets and prove them out or give up and assume them to be normal. My point is that I have seen more than one person buy a possible het, thinking that its a het and that makes me sad.

I think the problem is that a lot of sellers will put "50% het" or "66% het" instead of "50% possible het." To someone who either hasn't taken the time to educate themselves about genetics, or who is struggling with the concepts, I think that could easily be misunderstood as something along the lines of "50% of its babies will be het" or something like that, as opposed to the more accurate "there is a 50% chance that this animal will be het."

Add in the rather ludicrous term "100% het" (it's either het or it's not! Wouldn't "guaranteed het" be a more accurate, and less misleading term?) and it's easy for me to see how someone who doesn't really understand genetics could get confused about what the %'s mean.

Um ... Yeah, that got off-topic, didn't it?
