[Avodah] Classical Academia, Deconstruction, and Mesorah

[Michael Makovi]

Another note: Lo ba-shamaim hi says we go by humans and not G-d. Where
in this principle do we learn that we go by mesorah and not new
textual discoveries? If we discover Moshe Rabbenu's scroll, relying on
it would be relying on humans, not on G-d. Lo ba-shamaim hi means only
that we don't rely on supernatural revelation, etc., but unearthing
new manuscripts is quite temporal and mundane!
