Isn't this fairly disproven by science now and sperm fertilising an egg is now seen as more of a group effort?

Yes, they all boink the shell until it's boinked enough for one of them to break through. Than that one thanks his mates by shutting and locking the door and leaving them out there to die.

I also thought that there were support sperm who basically just help other sperm reach the egg.
