My point is NOT a critique of RY Karo who relies upon the BY
My critique is with the phenomenon that the SA was enshrined as THE Halachic
work despite this shortcoming.

That is a bit confusing so let me state this:
Printers SHOULD have pritned Tur/BY and then the SA/Rema on the bottom of
the siman or some simliar device.

Silly? See the Traditional [not the new edition!] of the Toras habbayis.
tTheTB hakatzar is on the SAME PAGE as the TB ho'orcuh!

EVERY early edition of the SA said SA on Tur Orach Haim, on Tur YD etc. But
the Tur and BY are missing. True the  Be'er hagolah made up for this deficit
but what bothers me is that it seems that people did not WANT a sefer that
had the sources!   Think about how popular the Rambam/SA/KSA are compared to
the BY or the Darchei Moshe!

What is also SOMETIMES the case the SA differs from the BY. This is even
more baffling
E.G. my debate with r. Zev Sero re: fish and milk.  Clearly in the
BY&clearly omitted from SA. Also see the order of Talllis & Tefillin
BY: Tadi v'sheino Tadir...
SA: ma'alion bekodesh...

As a teacher, it is really difficullt to hve to point these things out.
