That discussion was regarding Tav L'Meisiv Tan Du, right?

==================================================
Correct - but of course the gemara and poskim quote many rov's and I
have little idea how to tell which is which (although R' YBS seemed to
say that one was due to a pasuk).  I asked R' Rosenzweig in the context
of his chulin shiur and got a smile.

I also wonder how chazal decided based on anecdotal evidence when to
declare a rov like rov mumchin etzel shechita and would they consider
other factors (e.g. meat in a small town where people had an aberrant
predilection to shecht without knowledge0
