Even though it had a hole in the shell?

This article was weird, in that he went through the whole thing about how effective the layers are without also mentioning there was a hole through all of them other than the egg white (until the end).

That’s true, at least I would have eaten it. I did leave out boiled eggs with holes after cooking them for at least a day in the past. It depends of course, I don’t live in a super humid and hot climate, results may differ there.
The egg cooker is a mystery to me. What is the hole for? I hard-boil eggs by heating a pot of water containing the eggs. Why would you puncture the shell?
I do not know about TFA and the egg cooker, but I usually boil the water first so I can pull the eggs out at a specific time (6:30 to 7:00) so the yolk is gooey. When I put an egg into boiling water without putting a hole through to the air sac, I think there's a higher chance that the egg will crack and spew albumen throughout the boiling water.
Yeah, cooked eggs keep for weeks with no refrigeration, despite the hole. At least in temperate climates.
