You might love being distracted but I fear that the topic of the shiur will spark an entirely different debate.

The reason why I think that my source has some validity is that there are not to many people who have intimate knowledge of the levels of Talmudic prowess of the great Rabbis on different sides of the ideological spectrum. People who were talmidim in Ponevezh and in YU’s Gruss Kollel are in a somewhat unique position.
