We aren't talking about cows
But considering the higher complexity, which is more than just a higher incidence, why are you assuming that it is the straightforward chicken rather than the complicated cow?

Whatever.  I don't have a horse in this race
You have one as much as I do. It's a question of logic. If I were to go to my rov who I always bring my chickens to to check for traifah, and this time I bring him a chicken that prior to slaughtering it, my kids played catch with it so bigger probability that it's a traifah, is it logical to say that for some reason, it's more complicated for this rov to render a psak? Especially if I told him about the higher probability?

Please explain why it's more complex. Seems pretty straightforward. There was a feeding tube stuck down its throat. We all know that. Now we shall check if said tube made it traif. That's the only difference between it and a regular chicken.

Is veal more complicated that beef? Why? It's just a cow stuck in a pen and force fed.

I don't know the details of veal so unfortunately I can't comment.

That's a shame because it's the perfect analogy  ;D

nikuvas haveshet is not the same as dakin. also, it is not only the veshet which is more complex. Look through the poskim discussing geshtupte ganz and you will see why. Do you have knowledge about this to base your assumptions on or is it only conjecture with no real basis?

The question here is if the feeding tube made a hole. Don't think one needs to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. So my guess would be that there isn't somewhere specific in the veal.

What's the relevance. Either answer the question or don't. As Shapiro once said, you don't need a degree in Sociology to know BS when you see it

Whether it is logical or not, a nefula has much more complicated dinim and has an entire siman discussing how to deal with it and how the methods to check it are much more complex.

I'm coming from a point of logic. If I'm wrong, so be it.

FWIW, the kashrus agencies in Israel don't allow FG due to either tzaar baalei chaim or humanitarian reasons (not the same thing)

Lets get this clear. Do you have any knowledge at all about the potential comlexities and issues or are you just making baseless assumptions?

Do you have the underlying knowledge needed to make logical deductions?

I was responding to this

The pipe in the goose's throat can make it treifah.
And the liver needs to be kosherized by broiling, but broiling just a bit too much ruins the foie gras.

If you have anything else to add, why did you wait until now

There you go again citing to authority. Like I said before, either answer the question or don't
