Why do we say "per egg" instead of "per clutch"

[OhhWatALoser]

Compare it to flipping a coin. If I flipped heads 10 times in a row that has no effect on the 11th flip. The 11th flip is still a 50/50 shot.

So, if you have a six egg clutch from lesser x normal you would expect three lessers and three normals; however, if the first three are lessers you still have 50/50 odds on the last three eggs.

It still never changes the clutch's statistics, despite what actually hatches. Real world doesn't change statistics

Your math goes wrong when you add more genes. You can't average an average. You have to apply that to each egg and it changes your number drastically when more genes are involved. That's why mutligene animals are more expensive than adding two genes prices together.

I don't understand how my math went wrong when I didn't do any. I just listed every possible outcome. Multiple genes will make it more complicated but I don't see how it would effect anything.

Why does everyone want to keep saying real world? It seems no one is reading the word statistically. I'm not asking what happens in the real world. I'm not saying per egg is wrong. I'm asking how can statistically per clutch be wrong because it is always "corrected" when there is nothing wrong with it.

The only thing about real world and statistics being related is the law of averages, which has nothing to do with what i'm talking about.
