Are you talking about "im ragil likrot, kore, im ragil lishnot, shoneh?"
I would say that shoneh means to review mishnayot, and kore means learn
Mikra. There's no issue here since kore could apply to one who doesn't
know TSBP.

This one's my own reasoning, but ROY discusses many possible objections
to this minhag of the Ari in Yabia Omer v.6 OC 30.
