Out of curiosity, how has it been proven that the lesser doesn't have this hidden gene? Did they exhaustively breed normals produced from lessers back to lessers to prove they don't produce Platinums?
From my understanding of it they are on the same allele. Which by definition would mean that lessers can't carry it. For the nitty gritty about what breedings were done to figure the genetics out, your best bet would be to email Ralph Davis directly.
