I never said the coefficient is immaterial. The coefficient determines HOW inbred a dog is, not "yes or no" if it's inbred.
However, the coefficient is somewhat theoretical, for the reasons already stated as clearly as can be stated in this article. One's comprehension, however, is another matter.
The only other "evidence" I have are the very definitions of inbreeding.
Marrying someone unrelated to you is not inbreeding.
Marrying someone related to you, depending on how close, can be inbreeding.
I have already stated the direct kinds of inbreeding there are, so if you have trouble "getting" this, then I can't help you any further.
If you have trouble seeing that Lasso was bred to his aunt, then I can't help you any further here either.
Tell you what, if you have trouble understanding what I have already put here, then just go announce that you are marrying your aunt and get back to me with the results.
