feivel: I think others disagree (haven’t seen explicitly, but the average person assumes not like that so presumably there is some Makor), but the Pnei Yehoshua makes sense and I have heard several Roshei Yeshivah (one from YU and a few others from more “Yeshivish” institutions, if that matters to you) use it to reject Gematria-based Kashas.
