DY: I won’t disagree with the “controversial” point (which he certainly was, as a businessman, post Kesef Mishna that everyone is Somech on :-), besides for writing the banned My Uncle the Netziv), but I’m not sure what you mean by the middle paragraph. Are you saying that R’ Meir was Mesaken due to his experiences and internal biases? Are you saying that is what the TT is saying? Or are you saying that R’ Meir’s experiences were indicative of the correct Halacha?
Please elaborate.
