[Avodah] do gentiles have more teeth

[Eli Turkel]

However, you don't have proof that this knowledge is more fundamental to
halakhah than claims from Chazal about how the world ought to be. What
the tooth thing would show is that regardless of how the world /is/, the
fact that Chazal feel that 33 teeth better describes how the world
should be is more relevent to how we should act.>>

1. from the blog
Midrash Talpiyot was authored by Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo Avraham, and
was published in 1698.
hardly qualifies as chazal

2.  R Chaim Kanevesky quotes R. Y. Zilberstein that some dentist
actually uses this difference
in teeth to identify Jews. So it is not being used merely theoretrically

3. how the world /is/, the
fact that Chazal feel that 33 teeth better describes how the world
should be is more relevent to how we should act.

got lost - how does the number of some theoretical number of teeth
teach us how to act
