That someone was me.

I am not frustrated that lessers aren't called hets. I am frustrated by the claim that lessers can not be genotypically heterozygous. And that NO creature with a dominant or codominant mutant gene paired with a normal gene can be genotypically heterozygous.

"Het albino" is a genotype that produces a normal phenotype. "Het lesser" is a genotype that produces a lesser or lesser platinum phenotype. Homozygous lesser is a genotype that produces a blue-eyed white phenotype.
