Notice how none of this has anything to do with the physical or quality characteristics of the silk itself. It’s all about the eggs and the die rate IMHO. And I believe they now know if the recent moves regarding the eggs were a success or not in terms of their robustness (which I believe is just a term they are using instead of “die rate” or viability). So now the only remaining question is how much has the yield improved? Honestly. who cares. I expect it to have improved significantly regardless. The main concern is clearly that first 24-48 hours when the eggs first hatch and keeping the babies alive with fresh mulberry.
