[Avodah] Darchei Limud

[Marty Bluke]

The Seridei Aish in both a teshuva and a published letter says that R'
Chaim's analyses are not historically true. He writes that it is clear
that the Rambam's derech was not R' Chaim's. All you have to do is
look at the Teshuvos Harambam where he deals with some of the
issues/contradictions. The Rambam never gives any lomdus to explain
his psak, rather he gives what we would call Baal Habatish answers. He
had a different girsa in the Gemara, their copy of the Mishne Torah
was wrong, he made a mistake, etc. Not once does he employ anything
close to Brisker lomdus.
