[Avodah] Zerizus in the Haggadah

Okay, so why is our ancestor to the chakham "kehilkhos hapesach"? And
second, why "ein maftirin achar hapesach afiqoman" as opposed to any
law? If it's because this is the last law of the seder, why not "ad ein
maftirim..."?

So, here's my thought, circa 2nd seder:

We are mechuyavim to keep the taste of the afiqoman after the se'udah.
So, teach the chakham "kehilkhos hapesach" -- in a similar way to this
halakhah of pesach. Whatever it is you answer him, he already has a
sophisticated sense of hilkhos pesach, if not every single din. However,
make sure he is left with a taste of what you taught lingering in his
mouth. Don't just teach facts, do so in a way that he is left with an
impression.

Hislamdus.
