Comment(by mario):

 Salmonella uses {{{setup-download}}}'s {{{gather-egg-information}}} to
 find out information about eggs. I suppose {{{gather-egg-information}}}
 just ignores eggs which have syntax errors in their .meta files, since
 they can't be {{{read}}}.

 So, since {{{gather-egg-information}}} doesn't tell salmonella about the
 existence of eggs, salmonella doesn't have a way to know whether they
 exist or not.
