[Avodah] Variable standards

[Rich, Joel]

I know of 2 mishnayot where the mishneh allows the possibility of  a
variable standard

1.Pesachim 48 b by chamatz not all women, wood and ovens are the same

2.Yevamot 120 a by how quickly a body decomposes

I was wondering why these 2 and not other possible cases (e.g. how
quickly food decomposes in the body)
