Confused ??? Not so much ...

Think of a badly damaged horse where euthasia MAY be indicated ...

The horse is considered a TOTAL---like a totalled car --whether it is euthanised or not...

The insurance company thus can pay out on the total loss--so even though the check shows a mortality, the horse MAY be alive, but a total loss ...

Just like the insurance company appropriates a totalled car, they may do this with a totalled horse, and chose to proceed further with its " salvage " or not ...

This was done with Your Host by Lloyd's of London ... Lloyd's took over the rehab and ownership of the horse, after a bad accident that produced multiple fractures, and he recovered to stand at stud and give us Kelso ..

In a sense it was done with Cigar--who was a total loss as far as breeding worth ...
Ummm, while your analysis is (relatively) correct, you are trying to school someone who actually does this for a living...
