Haha yes we are comparing these things! Only due to semantics are they apples to oranges. We lazily call the ovum “egg”, but also the shelled “reproductive body” laid by birds, reptiles, etc. The same word with two listed definitions in the dictionary.
You look at the human’s plate and your mind conjures the word egg (definition 1), and so on the second plate you believe there should also be an egg (definition 2)
I look at the plate and see the various necessities for reproduction, which exist in both humans and chickens. The ovum IS on the human’s plate already, but so is all the other stuff!
If it’s “chicken period” vs “human period”, then the other plate should also contain various other period stuff, too, if that’s what you like.
Also isn’t it odd the shelled object is an “egg” no matter if fertilized or how long the fetus has gestated?
