However. if you accept a heuirstic POV of how to decide matters pasken
then you are ALWAYS [at least potentially] bringing your own spin into
any text! Objectivity gets trumped by subjectivity!


Shitas Dr. Meir Shinnar: let the text speak for itself - do not READ
INTO IT, do NOT bring one's prejudices into it. Do not presume one's
shitos MATCH the text, etc.

Shitas R. Micha Berger:  View any text with one's learned
pre-conceived notions and see it through THAT prism

e.g. Mamleches kohanim via the prism of Mussar school is then  about
self-perfection and NOT about a Preistly Kingdom!

There is no way to havea meeting of minds with these two contrary
pre-suppositions.  There would probably be disagreement about text
90%+ of the time.
