Two possibilities. First, we know they were making experimental changes
in their sequence . . . remember the "revision numbers"? The Boss Raptor 
might have been a different model.

Second, the Boss Raptor could just have gotten the benefit of an 
environmental variable - a bit more oxygen while in the egg, a bit less 
of some other chemical they were shooting in there . . .
