Can anyone tell me how candling eggs multiple times can have a positive effect on the eggs?

It doesn't, It is for the sole purpose of giving you a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Of course it doesn't affect the clutch, positively or negatively. I candle mine every time I burp the tub to see how they're doing.

Can you say why it's bad to know how they're developing, or are you just being pompous?
