But gooses and ducks have normal livers under normal feeding conditions, a seltenvogel has an unbezahlbar once in a lifetime, force-feeded or not.It is true every seltenvogel has an unbezahlbar once in a lifetime, but the size, based on my recollection of the episode, depends on how much the seltenvogel is force-fed all that crap.
In regard to your biological/evolutionary arguments, you seem to be begging a question (i.e., "you have nothing in return when the unbezahlbar is taken from you and you can't get it out yourself."). Not every biological attribute has "value." There is no evolutionary advantage to my knowledge regarding people who have type I diabetes or any other variety of genetic disorders/diseases. However, in regard to "once in a life time" events, there are plenty varieties of plant life that flower only once in a life time (e.g., the corpse flower). This is simply a parallel transformation that occurs in a more advanced species.
Also, it's possible only the abnormal forced-fed umbezahlbar can't be removed on its own. The regular much smaller one may simply be broken down by the wessen's system or be expelled through natural causes. This tranformation may also simply be an evolutionary mating ritual that lets other seltenvogel know that when an umbezahlbar is showing, it's time for her to get knocked up.
