If one takes this approach, then one cannot accept anything. "The 
printer changed the text of the sefer, etc." I know what Reb Zundel 
said to me. I even asked him to repeat it.

For the record someone who is closely associated with Yeshiva Rabbi 
Chaim Berlin told me that Rav Hutner said, "Five years in kollel is 
enough for anyone."

At least I have upped the time! >:-}
