interesting perspective... but you have to remember that it is humans that give birth to whites when two decendants of lines carrying the gene/dna have a child together.
Strange? No, i don't really think so. It was not an accident on Hobb's behalf. If 'the fool' had been completely analysed within the novel it would have contridicted everything his character was meant to be. More could have been revealed prehaps but the tantalising pieces were far more effective in my opinion
