There are occasions in halacha where one may or is even encouraged not to look int o something to avoid any questions.
The best example if what I mean is during yemei tahara.
A not as good example, though similar is relying on chazaka. For example, milk is kosher and there is no need to check the cow for treifos. Although, obviously, it us possible to find out, there is no need to cancel rely on chazaka.
Can anyone think of other examples? Especially similar to first case
Mamzeirus.
Your first example is not inherently true, but we do follow that approach in our weak dor.
We do check the lungs on a shected animal. It depends on how common issur is.
Vegetables, for example, depend on the min, locale, and season as to whether they require checking or not.
The pure rule l’halachah is kol hamarbeh livdok harei zeh m’shubach, but practically, it’s sometimes not advised.
“mamzeirus”
I’m not sure, but isn’t that only in a case where we don’t have real reason to suspect?
When it’s based on utter stupidity.
One poster once commented that my marriage wasn’t valid because we didn’t use a Shadchan. He told me that I needed to ask my rav. I refused, because his contention was based on stupidity and nonsense. I’m not going to bother my rav over nonsense.

Sigh, Wolf, will mosherose ever stop giving you nightmares, even years and years after he stopped posting?
Dy,
but practically, it’s sometimes not advised.
Do you have an example of this? I never heard of one (which doesn’t mean that there isn’t)
??”? ??”? ??”?
Of course, the fact that we do not “look for problems” during Yemei Tahara is also an example of “relying on Chazaka…”
DY, I think the OP meant that we rely on Chazaka (actually, Rov) to allow the drinking of milk (instead of shechting every cow so we can check its lungs before drinking).
Sigh, Wolf, will mosherose ever stop giving you nightmares, even years and years after he stopped posting?
He gives me exactly the same number of nightmares as you do… 0. Yes, I mention his posts time and again, but only because I find them to be the greatest example of foolishness I’ve ever seen on these boards. So, when something he says (or anyone else, for that matter) comes up that is relevant to a topic, I’ll bring it up.

Dy,
I was referring to vegetable checking not niddah
Can you provide where one doesn’t have to check a vegetable sometimes, but other times he does (with the same vegetable)
DaasYochid,
Your first example is not inherently true, but we do follow that approach in our weak dor.
Previous generations practiced taharas hamishpacha differently than ours?

I hear. But that wouldn’t apply nowadays, since everything is in season somewhere and we can buy it from there and it could be buggy over there
Meaning, just because you got a bag of romaine it doesn’t mean it came from the same place you got it last time (even if it’s from the same company)
It could also not be, it changes and has to constantly be monitored. Of course it’s relevant nowadays.
In fact, I recently got an alert that romaine lettuce is particularly bad now, and the recommendation was not to rely on home or sample checking, but to only buy Pos-Tiv.
Re the romaine,
That’s right, it is. May I ask who (which hashgocho) sent you that?
And since it changes and has to be monitored we check everything all the time
When it comes to the slaughtering of birds we go after the majority and don’t check, which is why I never understood why people claim chickens are glatt kosher.
A friend forwarded something from Kehilah Kashrus to me.
Do you check carrots?
I peel my carrots to avoid any shailos.
You should blend them too just to make sure.
Has carrots ever have any bugs
Bugs don’t blend?
They do, that’s why dy said that
It’s only b’deieved
Has carrots ever have any bugs
Ah, so you are saying anything which has ever had bugs needs to be checked l’olam vo’ed. I don’t think that’s true. Do you check onions?
In some situations, blending can be l’chatchilah.
Why would blending be l’chatchilah, if the bugs ends up being blended into the final food product?
“Bugs don’t blend?”
Sounds like a Blendtek commercial/video.
