There's nothing special about the nozzle; it's just another point. The nozzle isn't the center. But if you can't get past that, imagine a balloon without a nozzle, with a canister of compressed gas inside, and the compressed gas is leaking out of the canister.

I mentioned a perfect geometric sphere that is expanding has no center on that surface.

I also stated that no real world analog of a perfect expanding sphere exists. Because we can't imagine an analog it's much more likely that the universe DOES have a center similar to the nozzle.

Try to imagine a real world analog to the expanding geometric sphere without a point of discontinuity. You can't. And because you can't maybe it doesn't exist. Maybe it does. But not being able to imagine a real world analog is slight evidence that there there is a center.
