Reply To: Abbaye vs. Rava and Rav vs. R' Yochanan

It actually doesn’t really make sense to pasken a machlokes Amoraim based on sinai adif. Just because he knows more Tannaic statementswe should pasken like him? If he knows a relevant Mishnah/Braisa/Tosefta let him bring a Ta Shema and if his opponent has no answer then the case is closed. But if the Sinai has no raya there shouldn’t be any reason to pasken like him.
