[Avodah] Halivni

<<Getting away from the issue of textual problems and moving over to the
more accepted notion that later authorities often reinterpret earlier
sources: R. Zadok held that reinterpretation is darkah shel torah, and
that Hashem stands behind that process in order to make eternal
halakhic principles relevant to the changing circumstances of time and
place.>>

1. Where is this R. Zadok?

2. There is a principle that Amoraim don't disagree with Tanaim.
However, many feel that they felt free to reinterpret Taanaitic sources
in ways that were not the original intention in order to justify some
amoraic opinion or some accepted practice. Is this on purpose
or darkha shel Torah?

CI seems to have a similar opinion that any sources that were lost
was a decision of hashem and we cannot use these rediscovered sources.
Personally I find that over a period of time what was once a new source
is now accepted because it has been around for a while. Even the
periush of Rabbenu Chananel was not accessible for many years.
I think today most poskim accept Tosaphot HaRosh and Meiri which were
once considered "new" seforim.

BTW did CI learn R. Zadok?
