>There's a massive difference in taste You feel that way, but all evidence says otherwise. >and an objective measure that correlates well with this - namely, the thickness of the collagen sheath just underneath the shell Measuring that is objective, but there is no evidence it correlates with taste at all. >(eggs being single cells.) I honestly don't know how to say this nicely. You expect people to take your pseudo-scientific nonsense seriously when posting things like this that clearly show you don't know the most basic facts on the subject? A bird egg is not a single cell. The ovum is a single cell, and is a tiny spec on the surface of the yolk. The yolk, the white and the membranes are all not part of the single cell ovum. >It's an excellent correlate of the overall health and nutritional value of the egg. Show us the evidence. That is an easily proven objective claim, so where's the evidence?

> The yolk, the white and the membranes are all not part of the single cell ovum. Do these contribute additional cells to the egg that must be counted?

  No, the egg yolk is food for the embryo. It is the equivalent of the placenta in a mammal. An egg only contains a single cell (unless there's a blood clot in it), but contains a single cell is very different from is a single cell.

Without a hypothesis like this, we are left with postulating hidden variables: some hidden context pointer which resolves to you or me or such." huh? please tell me this stupid shit was an analogy

Next you'll be saying that all carrots taste the same. Or wheat (my grandfather was an elevator operator - it doesn't at all according to his account, due principally to local soil conditions - different geology.) Science isn't whatever meets your expectations. While the egg isn't functioning as one big working cell, it's not made of cells, it is what became of just one cell. More here if you want the discussion. https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/ry2ug/are_chicken_eggs_one_cell/ https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/ry2ug/are_chick... As for what healthy eggs looked like, I'm guessing you haven't spent much time on a farm. The fragile, rather sickly eggs you're so used to buying now were unknown on farms fifty years ago, when I was younger.

  >Science isn't whatever meets your expectations. That's what I am telling you. I didn't say anything about my expectations. You made a claim, I told you to provide evidence. >While the egg isn't functioning as one big working cell, it's not made of cells, it is what became of just one cell. No it isn't. The single cell you are thinking of is the ovum. The egg yolk is the equivalent to the placenta in a mammal. It is not something that grows from the ovum. And why would I want to see random people on reddit arguing about it? Facts are facts, regardless of what people say on reddit. An egg yolk is categorically and empirically not a single cell, and not part of or made from the ovum. Do you not see the irony of trying to tell me what science is, then posting random people arguing as "evidence"? I suppose I am supposed to only read the posts repeating the same misconception you have, and ignore the ones pointing out the same facts I gave you? >As for what healthy eggs looked like, I'm guessing you haven't spent much time on a farm Maybe you should stick to facts instead of silly and irrelevant assumptions. I am on my farm right now. I have 20 chanteclers sleeping about 30 yards away from where I am sitting right now. I haven't bought an egg in decades. None of this has anything to do with your baseless claims. If you want people to believe your claims, you need to provide evidence, not ad-homs. Once again, your claim is purely objective. If it is true, then you can provide evidence. So do that. Show me the evidence linking membrane thickness to taste or nutrition.
