The weird thing is, cornstarch is activated by boiling but it doesn't thicken completely until chilled, while the egg yolks thicken at 160℉, well below boiling, so they're added after the mixture is already boiled with cornstarch, tempered in, off the heat. It's an odd double-thickening approach with two different thickening behaviors.
