> Were you also brought up with the myth of that one super sperm that ‘fertilizes’ an egg?

> Then I have ‘bad news’. The story is completely outdated. A few dozen, sometimes hundreds of sperm cells enter into a biological conversation with an egg. It is about exchanging with each other, in order to eventually merge. Penetration is not the word for what is happening here. Call it a cellular mating dance.

This is clearly nonsense as IVF works fine.
