I understand what you mean and I even talked specifically about pieds. Low white pieds are beautiful. But you wouldn't breed two low white pies together with the expectation of producing hi white pies, right? This is basic selective breeding. You breed animals that display the traits you desire. Not the exact opposite. You don't have to be an expert to realize this basic concept.
I don't have direct experience with breeding calicos (yet) but selective breeding must play some part.
Its not a silly comment.
