[Avodah] Rav Yisroel Belsky on Anisakis Worms

[Rich, Joel]

: I have seen this explanation given in a number of instances, but isn't
: the logical implication of this that extrapolation from the reasons to new
: cases is not guaranteed to give the correct result ( or put differently,
: isn't any extrapolation a safek)

Isn't that the whole basis of the position we've discussed besheim the Gra and RAYKook?

Since we don't know, we can only extrapolate lechumerah. And if we see the science in a way that brings us to a kulah, we have to be concerned that perhaps there is more going on than we're aware of.

Tir'u baTov!

-- 
To me it's more than science issue, it's an issue of any new case that was not previously dealt with for whatever the reason.
