The chicken and egg metaphor is based on a faulty premise.
The egg cannot hatch on its own, and the hen cannot lay a fertilised egg without a rooster in the neighbourhood.
Our arguments on the structure vs content is like so much chickenshit. All most of us are saying is: "I'm gonna talk with my ears closed, and my brain logged out."
