Reply To: For PF to Vicariously Rant Endlessly About the Over-Emphasis of Iyun through PAA

“I am not arguing iyun vs bekiyus, they are both very important, I don’t feel I am on a madreiga to decide which one is “better”.”

I don’t feel that I am on a madreiga to decide which is beter either. But I can point you to sources who discuss it. Let’s put it this way: Can you provide any source in the Gemara, Rishonim, or Acharonim which says that one should make his main focus iyun when he does not yet have bekius? If you can do both simultaneously (i.e. serious iyun while still covering a lot of ground) then that is great. But I don’t think that is the metzius we are discussing.
