And of course Reggie has heard a million times why we believe that the Bread and Wine are each fully the Undivided Body and Blood of Christ. So there's no need to go over that either.

Reggie has heard it from you and only you. Are you once again speaking for the RCC?

Please provide an official teaching of the RCC which corroborates this.

Once again? When did I stop?

Sigh. Coming right up.

1390 Since Christ is sacramentally present under each of the species, communion under the species of bread alone makes it possible to receive all the fruit of Eucharistic grace. For pastoral reasons this manner of receiving communion has been legitimately established as the most common form in the Latin rite. But "the sign of communion is more complete when given under both kinds, since in that form the sign of the Eucharistic meal appears more clearly." 225 This is the usual form of receiving communion in the Eastern rites.

One receives Christ in the bread alone. Not half of Christ, but the fullness of the Eucharistic graces. If less than "all the fruit" was obtained, then Communion under both species would be required to get the "full" Christ.
