(I believe this is how I understand it, if I am wrong anyone please correct )

Spot on.

It is, indeed, a bit of a learning curve. And even when you understand the basics of how the genetics work (as listed above) you still have to learn which morph fits into which genetic category (recessive, dom, co-dom) and some morphs are still mysteries. The great thing is that it's all super fun stuff to learn!
