>>>I don’t have the time nor the ability to study all the available sources firsthand
If I knew nothing about eiruvin and I only have 20 minutes of free time every day.
I have two options:
1) Spend those 20 minutes learning about eiruvin.
2) Spend those 20 minutes arguing about eiruvin.
If I pick the second option, I will probably lose the argument most of the time. But I can always excuse myself that it’s not my fault, after all I am the greatest genius! Is it my fault that I’m not learned in eiruvin!? I have no free time to learn!
This is called the arrogance of ignorance.
(as RABBI Meir Kahane used to say.
Were you upset that I missed “rabbi” or that I wrote הי”ד?)
