Caramel and caramel-based morphs are a particular interest of mine. As a result of that interest - not to mention my interest in genetics - I read and re-read all the "buf" threads laboriously. And it WAS laborious.
I'd love to agree with the.....I have to call it a
statement, because it is NOT a
conclusion that buf was ever proven to separate and distinct from caramel. My scientific training and my common sense both say I can't agree. No evidence has been presented to support this, and it would be easy to prove or disprove this point.
If my students were try to argue the validity of a point that could be so easily proven or disproven, and they did not perform that easy test, they would fail the assignment. Period.
I haven't yet seen the 2010 Morph Guide or a direct quote from it about buf. I'll thus remain mute on that topic except to say that if buf is referred to as "proven," I hope there's more evidence for it than I've seen in the threads I've read. The evidence as presented does not rule out caramel. That would have been an much easier cross to do than some that were actually performed.
