I have no idea if the theory will pan out and seems like it's been around enough to have been tried by now but at least initially it seems like a plausible theory to me. The mutations we breed are chemical changes that could have all kinds of more than skin deep effects (like kinking, spinning, etc.). One of those changes could be an inability to sense what temperature is proper for egg development so it was worth trying to see if not offering a hot end over say 85 helps with caramel and desert females. Maybe whatever lets other females know when it's time to move off the hot spot just doesn't work with one of these mutations. Not something I'm in a position to gamble on at this time but hopefully someone has given it a try just in case.
