You are on the right path at this point to relieving your confusion. The first step to becoming knowledgeable is knowing when you don't know. Except that anyone on here with moderator in their signature knows what they are talking about. That does not mean they will necessarily be nice about everything they say but they will not feed you bad information.

Realize when you start talking about genetics in the ball python world that most are not scientists. This has led to a hodgepodge of terms. To really understand what everyone is saying it is my view that you need learn both the scientific terms and the ones used in the industry. Do not rely on the genetics calculators to do the work for you. I have yet to see one that is right all the time and you will realize why once you understand what is going on. Believe it or not, genetics at the level you need to breed snakes is not hard. With a little work you can learn to do most of the calculations in your head. It is just simple Mendelian genetics. Look that up as a start. Learn about dominant, "co-dominant", and recessive traits. Once you understand that research complexes. Learn to make a Punnett square. Pretty soon everything will seem simple.

Try not to argue with the mods. They are trying to help in their own sometimes mysterious ways. Until you know a lot more, accept that they are right. Arguing about opinions is fun but simple genetics is math. It is a right/wrong situation and impossible to argue. I advise you to not bother to try to understand banana/coral glow until you understand the other stuff. There are a lot of people that don't understand the genetics on that morph.
