The dumbest thing about that to me is that if the story about Mao is taboo, then people are not supposed to be talking about it.

If it's also something as mundane as egg fried rice, then it becomes possible that this chef simply forgot the taboo story because nobody talks about it.

    Also, by making something as inherently inocuous as egg fried rice taboo, they are only drawing attention to the rumor. And the fact that the CCP are so bothered by it would make any reasonable person conclude that there must be some truth to the rumor.
