I guess a lot of it perspective, knowledge, and experience. I saw the post you replied to, and I agree it was way off. And you did do a better job, but you had a little of it wrong also. You still have it backwards. Eggs are white or brown, then you deal with blue. You can say the brown pigment does not go all the way through, but blue is an added pigment also, and they are added at different locations. The gene for white is a different locus than the gene for blue. That is what you keep missing. What does it matter that the pigment penetrates the entire shell? You need to look at both loci, not one, then the other. Blue is getting applied to the outside also, just earlier, and is able to penetrate all the way through. It is like paint and stain on wood. Oocyanin is like stain, and protoporphyrin is like thin paint. It mau be easier to lopk at a certain eay, but it is incorrect. Why not educate, instead of just making something up? If you tell someone something that is npt correct, snd it keeps getting repeated, what good does that do? Then more people misunderstand it. I do see what you were trying to do, but I was trying to help you, and others, but you ignore it, because you know everything.
