That would be equally shver if Rashi meant green. Also, only unambiguous Rishonim were quoted above so you can’t extrapolate based on that sample. ???? was a wide-ranging color (African tribes who still only have one word for green and blue have a hard time differentiating between both colors), you want Rashi give you the specific shade, ??? ???? ???.
Besides, being that 15 other Rishonim say it’s blue it doesn’t really make a difference l’gabay the color of tcheiles, I’m just explaining Chazon Nachum.
Remember this p’shat in Rashi is from ????? ???? and others, not myself.
Ask anyone who speaks Spanish or Portuguese to translate green.
“So it seems that there is a non-blue shita out there.” Your saying the ????? ???? argues with ??”? on the interpretation of ??”?, we agreed about that before, what’s your point?
3) “Many of the rayos to blue mentioned in the chosam shel zahav were based on the fact that ???? is ???? ???” I can talk for the ones I brought above, they don’t come on to ??.
5) There are different levels of ???? see ??? ??? above. Also it’s a ???? and there can be a reason it mentions each one see ??? ??? ????? ?”? ?”?. There can be no disagreement as to the exact color of Techeiles as we know it’s 100% identical to ??? ???? – indigo dye.
8)”you cannot play both sides of the fence regarding ???? ???”
We already showed how the ???? ???? dose take both sides of your arbitrary fence.
We brought the ??? ??? ?? ?? who writes “???? ?? ??? ????? ???? ????’ ??? ??? ?? ??? ??? ??
??.” It follows that two different things can be ???? ???.
We brought the ???? ?????? which says “??? ???? ?????? ?????? ????? ??????? ??????? ?????..”. The Rishonim who understand techeiles to mean blue, obviously understand that ???? ??? encompasses blue and green.
We showed from the African Himba that our modern English vocabulary gives us a bias to divide between different types of ????.
We pointed out that there are many similar ????? in ??”? which describe natural phenomenon in ways we wouldn’t.
Also the itself can be green or blue, the Chilazon is underwater and ???? ??? is likely to mean the ?? around it.
Patur Aval Asur is it so bad thing if Hashem actually sent us techeiles?
