Your anecdote amuses me. Why you think your admittedly subjective opinion is “non-anecdotal” eludes me (not that I claim to be objective or an authority on the matter). I’m just voicing my opinion. I agree that there may an intellectual experience or two out there in Israel, although for English speakers I believe one can find more such suitable experiences in the US. Yes one can try to rank such seminaries but IMO there are more relevant ways to rank seminaries which take into account the reasons the vast majority of the people which attend them value.
Although I believe that you believe your story, the way you’ve “read”, “analyzed”, and “comprehensively compiled” your beliefs as to what I wrote, said, or intended, makes me doubt the intellectual quality of the process you espouse.
I can defend my other posts in other threads at length but don’t have the time or energy right now.
