The Gemara relates that Rebbi Akiva ate the egg for no reason other than to demonstrate the halacha for his talmidim (that one does not complete a fast Erev Shabbos). But since that is the halacha, why would he not be required to eat the egg regardless of the talmidim?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:
The Gemara relates that Rebbi Akiva ate the egg for no reason other than to demonstrate the halacha for his talmidim (that one does not complete a fast Erev Shabbos). But since that is the halacha, why would he not be required to eat the egg regardless of the talmidim?
Brachos 31 – ברכות לא
Chana declared ‘I will seclude myself with a stranger in front of my husband’ which will result in my drinking the Sotah water. How can she allow herself to transgress the prohibition of Yichud?
The Gemara says if one needs to fast on a Shabbos, he should nevertheless atone (for his neglecting Oneg Shabbos) by fasting again… If fasting on Shabbos requires atonement, how can one transgress a prohibition with the intention to atone for it later?
