As I understand it, you are distinguishing between turkey, which called
for innovation because the situation is new vs ordaining women, in
which claiming that today's woman poses a new situation is itself what
needs proving.

Which is a valid contrast.

I was just saying that the whole comparison fails to begin with because
you cannot handwave over the details. Halakhah was given in a legal
format, details matter. Just looking at a vague concept like "see, we
do innovate" is meaningless, and therefore I felt that contrasting the
kinds of innovation secondary.

Like detail and technology, and complaints that begin, "If we can send
a man to the moon, why can't we..."

:-)BBii!
