I somewhat agree that the fear of linloeic acid doesn't always match facts. I do tend to avoid seed oils as they are relatively new and their health effects are rather suspect.

However, in this case, the eggs and lard that existed in the human diet for a long time, are not the same. The chickens and pigs are eating a different diet and this does effect the composition of the fatty acids present in the flesh/eggs.

compared to what? various foods contain oil (eg. peanuts, cashews, soybeans, sunflower seeds). Are they different, or "suspect" as well?

All of these are extremely seasonal, and relatively rare, in terms of total caloric intake in an archaic diet.
