here is the receipt.
the claim

The fingernail plate is anchored to the nail bed beneath it, which is richly supplied with nerves, so forcibly tearing a nail off is painful while the nail plate itself contains no nerves.

Is it true that the fingernail plate is anchored to the nail bed beneath it, which is richly supplied with nerves, so forcibly tearing a nail off is painful while the nail plate itself contains no nerves?

Yes. A reference anatomy article states the nail bed is highly innervated and that removing the nail plate is excruciatingly painful as a result, and that the nail plate itself contains no nerves or blood vessels. A second reference notes the nail plate and nail bed are distinct structures but does not address innervation or pain.
