    It doesn’t work that way, though. And this doesn’t even refer to “a boiled egg”, it refers to boiling eggs.

      Barring pedantry, I don’t understand the difference you’re inferring

        The wording you have used so far suggests to me that, every time you boil eggs, you hard boil them. Not everybody does that. Some people soft or medium boil their eggs and variations in between.

        So boiling eggs is not the same as hard boiling eggs.

            You said you didn’t understand, so I explained. I didn’t realize you were being disingenuous.

              I’m not being disingenuous. I think you’re just missing the fact that sometimes people use different terms to mean different things.

              Ever heard someone call a water heater a “hot water heater”?
