Can we argue about something more relevant, like whether we crack open our morning eggs from the big end vs. the little end? (BTW, I like my eggs scrambled.)

Absolute lowest affects the odds compared to absolute highest and favors the lower skill. That is why when comparing opposed rolls published rules always go with higher roll wins, even in systems where low rolls have traditionally been good - the odds are exactly the same as "Makes roll by most" but there is no need to calculate how much everyone made their roll by.
What about cracking eggs in the middle? And is it really necessary to specify morning eggs? Does anybody change their egg cracking habits at midday?
