  When reading a recipe with eggs
we must consider having to deal with the extra large ones or the smaller than we we expected
  To prevent the confusion or uncertainty of their size , and to make sure we won't have to guess
until the result of our work
 
"our Dead Masters Society" had already all figured it out
