Not trying to treat people different here - but...
in my opinion, this was not presented as a fact. I think of "hatched from
the same egg" as an expression that could be used even on people. Besides,
this was barely mentioned and is obviously not what Cord wanted to express
in this message. Nothing was stated here - it was all a proposal. And the
whole egg-thing was meant to be an addition to the twin-sentence.Yes, it
looks like Cord thinks Scrooge was hatched from an egg. So what? In YOUR
case, you said straight out "No, it's not like that."...
