it is important for people to understand the distinction that JP is trying to make. Say you want to get into pieds, but are limited in funds. So, you decide to buy pos hets. Well, some poeple will tell you that it is best to buy a whole clutch of pos hets because then you are sure to get atleast some pos hets (e.g. buying a clutch of 4 50% pos hets will give you two hets). Well, that is not really the case. If you buy 4 50% pos hets from one clutch, or 1 each from 4 different clutches it does not change the fact that each egg has a 50% chance of being het. I think some poeple don't understand this principle. I know it does seem like splitting hairs at times, but sometimes it is important.
