No, but the fallacy is in thinking the new species appears when the egg hatches, rather than when it’s fertilized. The egg is already the new offspring.
This is completely incorrect. Only a fertilized egg can create offspring. But that is not what they said.
What’s your point? Unfertilized eggs don’t hatch, so they’re not part of the scenario in question.
What’s your point? Literal, and wrong, quote from you…
A for enthusiasm, F for reading comprehension…
A quote isn’t “literal” if you insert a word that completely negates its meaning.
You seem to have missed that part.
Did you even read their comment?

It was clear as day to me that they were talking about the fertilization process, which implies that they meant a fertilized egg.
It’s not their fault you misread it.
