Illustration:
Look at the terms "gollel v'soseim"

As understood by historians
As understood by Rishonim.

Halachically Rishonim may have correctly applied the din to medeival

But
They really did not seem to understand the terminology nor the procedures
as they applied to the late Bayyis Sheini era.
