R' Goren said it to? The usually cited source is Mishpetei Uziel 38.

Also related is R' ChO Gradzensky (Achiezer 3:26, already cited in this
thread) which says a geir who converts with the intent of being a mumar
letei'avon bedavar achas is bedi'eved mequbal as a geir.


Not sure what either have to do with a BD that doesn't sufficiently screen
qabalas ol mitzvos for people who are simply *beshitah* "meqabeil ...
chutz midavar echad" (to quote Bekhoros 30b).

But the current argument doesn't rely on this. If it were just that
once, the BD didn't sufficiently check (at least to a level of certainty
necessary to condemn children to mamzeirus), they would need derishah
vechaqirah to check the metzi'us of every other person who went through
that BD.

Rather, they're arguing that the abnormalities in that case were so
grevious that the dayanim aren't even 3 hedyotos. Not agreeing, just
reporting.

And while I'm putting in disclaimers: Avodah appropriate arguments would
only include discussions of the din in theory, not heated arguments over
the metzi'us. You have been forewarned by the moderator.
