“Im not sure your distinction is correct. OF course in throry ever y body would know kol hatorah kulah. In practice this is impossible so we have a Rav to pasken that isnt a failing per se”

The distinctions were (knowingly and deliberately) vague.
My point was basically that I thought that you and anyone else who thinks that it’s not necessary to ask sheilahs that often might be assuming that most people should know halacha well enough to be able to know what to do without asking.

So I was just trying to point out that even if everyone had learned as much as they should/could have, there would still be many things that would need asking.
But of course, it’s impossible to really know what everyone could/should have learned, and in any case, what matters is the fact that l’maaseh, most people are very lacking in their knowledge of basic halacha, so they do have sheilahs on a daily/weekly base, whether or not they should, and whether or not they actually ask them.

“One category includes sheilahs that require a Poseik (so even if I knew as much halacha as I should, I would still need to ask).”
“I am not sure what that means. Like Tzoras that needs a kohein even if the person with the nega knows the halacha?”

There is a difference between knowing halacha well, and knowing enough to posken specific sheilahs that come up.

But again, it may be hard to understand what I mean until i give specific examples.

I will b”n try to do so soon.
