You want to cleanly bite off a piece of carrot.
You have seven teeth top and bottom to do the job.
Each tooth needs to meet the tooth above or below for a successful bite.
If any one tooth is too long, it will hit the upper tooth before the other 6 teeth finish biting. Fail
If one tooth is too short, 6 teeth will finish biting but the 7th tooth doesn’t reach the shorter tooth. Fail.
Now consider drilling a tooth size hole through the carrot.
Now when you bite, 6 teeth will bite properly and the long tooth doesn’t matter because there’s no carrot there due to the hole. The bite just needs 6 teeth for a good bite.
It’s the carrot that made the difference with the hole.
Oh, Hell! I’m not five yet and I can’t take this to conclusion.
Will eat an apple instead.
